Francois Millet & Fils Fixin En L'Olivier 2020
François Millet & Fils Fixin En l'Olivier 2020 is a beautifully structured Pinot Noir from a hillside parcel situated above the village of Fixin. Crafted by François Millet, the long-serving winemaker of Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé, the wine reflects his signature philosophy of restraint, finesse, and terroir transparency. The En l'Olivier site benefits from limestone-rich soils and an elevated position near a pine forest, contributing freshness, mineral tension, and subtle aromatic complexity.
The 2020 vintage is notably richer and more concentrated than the elegant 2021 release, offering aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry, violet, forest floor, spice, and delicate menthol notes. On the palate, it combines ripe fruit intensity with fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity, and a savoury mineral backbone. Critics have described the wine as refined and perfumed, with juicy energy and impressive depth while retaining the freshness and balance characteristic of the domaine's style. The finish is long, poised, and distinctly Burgundian, with excellent cellaring potential over the next decade or more.
