Soft as satin, but very persistent. This is a négociant cuvée of the Vosne-Romanée based domaine (Henri Jayer, one of Burgundy's greatest winemakers, used to be the winemaker here until the late 1980's). The parcel in Fixin is just at the foot of the 'côte', next to the 1e cru vineyards. Here, the domaine aims for balance and purity of fruit (they destem all grapes for example) and they succeeded big time. Definitely a re-buy!
