Discovering the wine region of Fixin

Discreet village at the northern gateway of the Côte de Nuits (south of Dijon): Pinot Noir flagship red (~95%) — deep robe and fleshy and tannic profile with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cherry, violet, peony evolving toward musky nuances, pepper, liquorice and wild touch, ample structure stouter than Marsannay. Rare Chardonnay as complement. AOC (1936), 6 Premiers Crus, ~115 ha 260-300 m, marl-limestone, renowned value for money.

Discover the grape variety: Pinot noir

Elegant reds, light in colour with silky tannins, showing strawberry, cherry and raspberry aromas, evolving to forest floor, mushroom and spice with age. Fresh acidity, delicate finish. Star of the Côte d'Or (Romanée-Conti, Chambertin, Volnay), pillar of Champagne (Blanc de Noirs) and signature of Oregon, Central Otago and Sonoma Coast. An early-ripening Burgundian variety, one of the world's greatest.
