Les Arvelets is largely planted with old vines though Amelie is doing some infill planting to raise vine density to around 12,000 per hectare. The yield for this was 15hectolitres per hectare and six barrels were made - two of those were new. Arvelets shows the darler side of Fixin compared to Les Crais. There are black fruit flavours and more richness but the wine is still fresh and finishes very long indeed. (CW 09/11/16)

Stephen Tanzer
Good dark red. Plum, raspberry, mocha and iron on the nose and palate; conveys a strong impression of its red soil. Densely packed, sweet and concentrated; this savory wine is seriously stuffed with flavor. Finishes with a serious tannic spine to support a graceful evolution in bottle. This terrific Fixin wine has benefited from the ripeness of its vintage without losing its site character. 91 points
