Fixin “En Coton”
“The gem” of the Côte de Nuits, set on the slope that separates the limestone plateaus of the Hautes-Côtes from the Bresse plain.

The terroir
Parcel
Between Dijon and Gevrey-Chambertin. Set on the slope that separates the limestone plateaus of the Hautes-Côtes from the Bresse plain, the vineyard lies on a clay-limestone soil enriched with marl. Planted at the foot of the slope, the vines can be up to around fifty years old. Facing east and south-east, they benefit from steady ripening of the grapes.
Grape variety
Pinot Noir
Our know-how
From vineyard to cellar
Winemaking
Hand-harvested; 50% of the bunches are destemmed and 50% kept as whole clusters. They are then placed in stainless steel tanks for vinification. The wine is aged in new barrels and 228-liter barrels that have already held one (white) wine, for at least 12 months.

On the nose, great freshness with notes of lilac and strawberry jam. Structured like its great neighbors, with persistent tannins.
Food matches
Food pairings
A fine rib of beef with a sprinkle of fleur de sel. Tandoori or curry. More creative pairings such as paella or spring rolls. Perfectly balanced with a Chaource or a fruity Comté.
