Domaine Bart Fixin

Compact and no-nonsense, this opens with red plum skin, sour cherry, and dried raspberry, layered with iron-rich earth, crushed stone, and a faint herbal edge. The palate is medium-light but firmly built, with savory fruit framed by fine, grippy tannins and a steady line of acidity that gives the wine its upright posture. Subtle notes of tea leaf, damp earth, and clove stem surface through the mid-palate, finishing dry, stony, and quietly persistent. A serious, soil-driven Fixin that leans into structure and restraint rather than charm.
