Reviewed January 2021A fresh, cool and highly expressive nose offers up notes of dark currant and newly turned earth along with a vaguely sauvage/forest floor element. There is a lovely sense of energy to the moderately refined medium weight flavors that exude evident minerality on the sneaky long, firm and softly austere finale. This is lovely and very Hervelets in style. *Outstanding Top Value*

Cinnamon and I did not wait to taste this wine to buy our case, we have been collecting the Bart Hervelets since we started importing them, and now have a nice vertical. Pierre treats this to 25% new oak, but it is completely integrated into the wine. This site is one of the most “under the radar” 1er cru’s in all of Burgundy and used to be celebrated in the same breath as Chambertin and Corton. The Hervelets is one of the rare high end, finessed Burgundy bottlings that one can still buy for less than three figures and it is too bad that we can’t get more. Tasting it with Pierre at the Domaine, it is obvious that this wine needs cellar time, it was a powerful, and dense with a nearly inscrutable aroma. In the mouth it showed much more, with sweet luxardo cherry fruit and clean earth. The finish went on forever, closing my eyes I can almost taste it again now.
Notes
90-93 points Jasper Morris for Inside Burgundy: "20% whole bunch vinification and 25% new wood have been employed for this cuvée which is made up of 70% Les Hervelets and 30% Les Arvelets. Compared to the village Fixin, the 1er Cru has notably more concentrated purple, almost saturated fruit on the palate, clean dark raspberry but nuanced, with further waves of fruit appearing behind, the tannins have been tamed, with acidity just infiltrating in a good way. Very nice."
