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: Primeur
Said of wines from the last vintage and, by extension, wines of the year, fruity and easy-drinking, put on sale on the third Thursday in November. The AOC regulations specify that a wine is said to be primeur if it is bottled before the spring, and nouveau if it is bottled before the following harvest. Beaujolais Nouveau is therefore a vin primeur.
