From Fixin
| Vintage: | 2021 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Vine Age: Planted in 1933, 1955, 1979, 1987, 2005. In 1896, Danguy and Aubertin mention M. Paul Berthaud and M. Pierre Berthaud as two of the three main proprietors in Les Clos. They also mention other Berthauts (with a ‘t') as owners in the neighboring Champ Perdrix and Le Rosier; Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet still owns slivers of those. It would appear that these holdings have been in the family at least since the late 19th century. Lavalle considered this area of Fixey to be very good. He included Les Clos, Le Clos, Le Rosier, Champs Perdrix, and Champennebaut in his deuxièmes cuvĂ©es, or second growths. Location: You will sometimes find Les Clos listed on maps as Les Clos Champs. It is not to be mistaken for ‘Le' Clos, just east and downslope. Situated in the north of the appellation, Les Clos is a 1.5 hectare (2.47 acres) vineyard, that lies mid-slope at approximately 310-meters elevation. The slope is gentle and faces slightly south of east. –Becky Wasserman |
