Pierre-Emmanuel farms organically and works to minimize the impact on the environment in both vineyard and cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe family owns 32 acres in total including parcels in five Fixin premier crus and the monopole of Clos Napoléon. In 1961 Pierre also purchased vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin including the monopole Clos de Meixvelle, Clos Prieur 1er cru, and the Grand Cru Clos de Bèze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFixin 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. This Fixin rouge comes from vines planted between 1968 and 1984. Grapes are completely de-stemmed and only indigenous yeasts are used for fermentation. The wine was matured for 20 to 24 months in used Burgundian pièce. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWines from Fixin are typified by their robust, tannic, and sometimes “sauvage” character.
