Domaine René Bouvier : Fixin Village "Crais de Chêne" 2020

Exhibiting aromas of smoky, plummy fruit, orange rind and spices, Bouvier's 2020 Fixin Crais de Chêne is medium to full-bodied, ample and lively, with supple tannins and a saline finish. It's a round, charming rendition of the appellation.

Lovely aromatic intensity, in the fixin, with a distinctly infused style that gains a bit in volume what it loses in depth. Fleshed out and well-crafted, it shows fairly intense on the finish.
