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.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Reassembly
During the vinification process, a "cap" is formed at the top of the vats with the solid parts (skin, pulp, pips, etc.), which contain tannins and colouring elements. Pumping over consists of emptying the vat from the bottom and pouring the juice back to the top, in order to mix the cap and the juice and to favour the exchange and the extraction. This old technique allows a better exchange between the solid parts and the liquid.
