2021 Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet Fixin 1er Cru Les Arvelets #191176504
750ml
Reviews 92-93 points Wine Advocate "Wafting from the glass with scents of plums, rose petals, bergamot, peonies and sweet spices, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and satiny, with melting tannins and a sensual, seamless profile, concluding with a succulent, saline finish. (WK)" 90-92 points Vinous "The 2021 Fixin Les Arvelets 1er Cru has a peppery bouquet in part thanks to the 20% whole bunches. Fine delineation, though this demands a bit of aeration to cohere. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, fine delineation quite poised and sorbet fresh with candied orange peel mixed with hints of pain d'epice on the finish. Lovely. (NM)"
