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: Bâtonnage
A very old technique that has come back into fashion in modern oenology, which consists of shaking the white wine in the barrels at the end of fermentation, or after fermentation, with a stick or a flail, in order to suspend the fine lees composed of yeasts at the end of their activity. This process is sometimes used for red wines.
