Details

*Vintage may vary by location*

Fixin is a quiet village sitting at the northern end of the Côte de Nuits, just a short half-hour drive from the center of Dijon. Michel Magnien’s Fixin comes from two vineyards on the east-facing mid-slope, one on the border of Couchey, the other on the border of Brochon. The wine was aged entirely in used Burgundian pièce.

Wines from Fixin are typified by their robust, tannic, and sometimes “sauvage” character. Soils towards the bottom of the hill tend to be a deeper and heavier mixture of limestone mixed with clay where wines tend to be beefy and a bit rougher. The premier crus sit further up the hill on homogenous brown limestone and often display more minerality and finesse.

Reviews

BH Allen Meadows' Burghound.com: Points
Hints of herbal tea and earth add breadth to the array of red berry fruit aromas. The delicious and relatively sleek lighter weight flavors possess good intensity that carries over to the nicely vibrant and focused finale. This should drink well after only a year or two of keeping.
