There is no denying that 2021 was a tough vintage in Burgundy, with frost issues, and cold, damp conditions leading to a dramatic reduction in quantities produced.

Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet are a producer that is a firm favourite at The Sourcing Table- we need no encouragement to work with Amélie’s wines! Hers is the sort of wine we don't get to offer all the time- there just isn't enough to go round- so when you see it, take it!

I have never tasted Fixin like this. She is reinvigorating love and excitement for a part of Burgundy I daresay gets a little less than most. Maybe Jason Haynes from Flint Wines says it best: “...whilst many good producers have vines in Fixin, the village has never had a ‘poster boy’ on whom to hang its hat, in the same way as other villages. Until now that is…”.
