 2007 vintage
A limpid carmine-red colour. A melted fresh, spicy and woody nose. Subtle notes of undergrowth. On the palate the wine develops extraordinary finesse and a touch of minerality giving it its structure. The oakiness and freshness work well together. A wine with good length and spicy notes on the finish.
Ideal with: rack of lamb, rabbit ragout, small game.

2003 vintage:
comments by J.P RENARD tasting trainer at the BIVB.
With an intense colour, "Les Hervelets" displays with this vintage, real aromatic complexity: cooked ripe fruits combine with spices to produce an exuberant nose. Although supple and light, the palate is structured on an excellent content and sustained tannins, revealing a few light notes of liquorice in the finish.
Ageing from 3 to 4 years seems necessary so that the wine can give the best of itself. A beautiful wine for the future!
Serving temperature: 16 °
Preserving: 7/10 years.

2002 vintage:
comments by J.P RENARD tasting trainer at the BIVB.
Cherry red in colour with hints of ruby, this Fixin premier cru requires a little time to open out and reveal, on a delicately wooded background, its notes of cooked fruits and the thicket. Its ample and remarkably balanced palate is extremely sustained and of exemplary length. An extremely beautiful wine that needs to be kept for a few years (4-5 years) before being served along with meat and gravy for example.
Serving temperature: 17°
Preserving: 5 /10 years
