Fixin „Champs de Vosger“ AOP 2022

Wine Description for Fixin „Champs de Vosger“ AOP 2022 by Jérôme Galeyrand

Colour & Appearance

Dark ruby red with remarkable transparency and clarity – a visual promise of elegance rather than power.

Nose

Seductively transparent with forest raspberries, wild strawberries and bilberries. Delicate floral top notes of orange blossom and violet lilac lend the bouquet an almost ethereal quality. Animated, light-footed, with a certain playfulness – this Fixin flirts charmingly rather than dominating.

Palate

Silky flow with filigree fruit structure that shines in deep ruby on the palate. Liquorice and tarragon add spicy notes, whilst elegant tannins delicately line the tongue’s edge. Medium-bodied character with a rapid, almost hypnotic drinking flow – a wine that preaches restraint, yet empties the bottle in no time.

Finish

Medium length with fine fruit presence and a hint of herbal spice that lingers elegantly.

Terroir & Origin

Hailing from the vineyard site Les Champs de Vosger below Fixin, this Pinot Noir benefits from light, sandy soils that lend it its characteristic lightness and transparency. The vineyards have been certified organic since 2019, managed with biodynamic practices and hand-harvested.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pinot Noir, largely destemmed, fermented in tanks and subsequently aged in 228-litre barrels with minimal new wood. Galeyrand forgoes industrial yeast, fining agents and enzymes – only as much sulphur as absolutely necessary. Purist vinification in service of the terroir.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Roasted root vegetables with tarragon butter, catfish on sautéed heritage carrots and beetroot with citrus fumet, thick rib with red beets. The wine’s herbal spice harmonises beautifully with root vegetables and earthy aromas.
