Domaine Pierre Gelin Fixin 'Clos Napoléon' Monopole 2020
Vintage Character
Domaine Pierre Gelin Fixin Clos Napoléon Monopole 2020 is a powerful yet refined Premier Cru Burgundy, praised for its depth, balance, and ability to age gracefully. The 2020 vintage in Burgundy was warm and dry, yielding ripe, concentrated fruit with freshness and fine tannins. From the domaine’s historic Clos Napoléon monopole vineyard, this cuvée reveals aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and violet, layered with spice, earth, and a touch of oak.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
On the palate, it is structured yet elegant, with supple tannins, lively acidity, and a long, mineral‑driven finish. Its richness and freshness make it a versatile partner for roast duck with five‑spice, mushroom risotto, or aged Comté cheese, where the wine’s savory depth and aromatic lift shine. Critics such as Wine Spectator have awarded the 2020 Clos Napoléon 93 points, noting its purity, balance, and long, mouthwatering finish.
Winery Background
Domaine Pierre Gelin, founded in 1925, has long been regarded as the benchmark estate of Fixin, with holdings that include this celebrated Premier Cru monopole. The vineyard, once known as Aux Cheuzots, was renamed Clos Napoléon in honor of Claude Noisot, an officer in Napoleon’s Imperial Guard, who commissioned a statue of the emperor that still appears on the label. Today, the domaine is run by Pierre‑Emmanuel Gelin, the third generation, who continues the family’s tradition of sustainable farming, hand harvesting, and classic winemaking. Vinification emphasizes purity and terroir expression, with élevage in oak barrels to bring structure and finesse. The Clos Napoléon 2020 exemplifies this philosophy, offering a wine of immediate charm and long‑term potential, firmly rooted in its historic terroir and crafted with precision.
