Domaine du Clos St Louis Fixin L'Olivier 2021
Market Price
To show you the value you're getting as an Angel...
We regularly benchmark a selection of our wines against up to three comparable wines on the market. The Market Price is based on the price of those wines.
What do we mean by benchmark? We taste them blind against our own wines, or we use our market knowledge (over 40 years between us) to set an industry standard Market Price.
If you buy one of our wines and disagree with the Market Price, or it's not your cup of tea, we'll add a credit to your account. For more info, see our FAQS.

About the wine
A super-sophisticated, age-worthy Burgundy worth saving for a special occasion
-
Philippe and Virginie’s premium L’Olivier comes from the heart of their family domaine in the middle of Fixin. This is where the Bernards have been honing their craft for over a century and it’s where they create their most prestigious wines.
-
This is a super-sophisticated red Burgundy that’s made to lay down and save for a special occasion… perhaps Christmas in a couple of years’ time, or to celebrate a big anniversary. If you’re patient, you’ll be rewarded with a smooth and supple wine with delicious red fruit characters and a mouthwatering minerality.
-
The only catch with premium red Burgundy like this is it’s only available in small numbers. We have just 900 bottles to go round. So if you’re a Burgundy aficionado or you’ve got a special occasion on the horizon - you’ll want to make sure you get your hands on a share before the collectors descend en masse.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Virginie and Philippe Bernard
- Virginie and Philippe are a father-daughter duo with winemaking in the blood, it's kind of just what the Bernards do... and you bet they do it well. In 1918 the family bought a small plot of land near Dijon, and now 4 generations down the line, what was once a small family vineyard stretches over 19 hectares.
- Philippe, one of 8, and Virginie, one of 4, both spent their childhoods surrounded by the vines and picking odd jobs in the cellar - it's simply a matter of tradition. But there was no teenage rebellion to be found here - whilst both father and daughter moved away from the family vineyard, Philippe to pursue Oenology and Virginie to work in food, neither could resist returning to the winery and continuing its legacy.
- It turns out the pair make one hell of a team who are utterly dedicated to every last inch of the process, from the vine to bottle. They exclusively use traditional methods of winemaking that they have been honing in the Domaine du Clos Saint-Louis for going on five generations. This is small scale winemaking at it's best.
