2017 Fixin, Laroze de Drouhin

Laroze de Drouhin is the négociant arm of the prestigious Domaine Drouhin-Laroze, which was set up in 2008, by Caroline Drouhin. It has enabled the family to supplement their supply of grapes, increasing their range of wines and appellations. As Caroline explains: “We do not own these plots, but manage and work the vineyards with the owners, hand-harvesting ourselves, and making the wines with the same attention to detail that we bring to the wines of our own Domaine.” With a medium deep, red-purple colour, this 2017 Fixin has a delicate, fine perfume – very fragrant. It is a beautifully balanced wine, with gentle fruit and elegant aftertaste (for drinking 2022-2024+).
