The 2016 Fixin 1er Cru Clos du Chapitre was very tight on the nose and needed more encouragement in the glass compared to the village cru. The palate is medium-bodied, rounded in texture, plump in the mouth with mulberry and dark plum toward the finish. Quite sensual for a Fixin, this is a well-crafted Fixin that will benefit from a couple of years in bottle.
