Fixin
Rouge
In the vines
Grapes are from 4 terroirs as follows: «Aux Petits Crais», «Le Clos» and «Les Clos» on silt-clay-sandy soils and «Les Herbus», on sandy marl.
These four plots of old vines are located within a radius of a few hundred meters. The similarity of the terroirs allows you to benefit from a good balance of maturity during the harvest.
Viticulture
Taille Guyot Poussard and cordon de Royat, mechanical plowing and 100% organic fertilizers.
We use organic products, and we maximize manual labor: disbudding, trimming, leaf stripping, green harvesting.
Harvest
Manual harvest in 20 kg boxes with a first sorting at the vineyard.
In the glass
Black fruits and delicate tannins.
The structure of Fixin is similar to that of Gevrey-Chambertin with a nice balance and pleasant drinkability even for a young wine.
Vinification
2nd sorting at Domaine.
80% destemmed and 20% whole cluster.
Natural yeasts, moderate punching down and pumping over.
