Product Description

The 2022 Fixin Village from Domaine Pierre Gelin is a benchmark example of this often-underrated appellation just south of Gevrey-Chambertin. Crafted by a historic family domaine with deep roots in Fixin, this cuvée reflects the appellation's signature combination of robust structure and rustic charm—refined by careful vineyard work and thoughtful élevage.

Sourced from multiple estate parcels on clay-limestone slopes, the wine is fermented with native yeasts and aged in French oak barrels (20–25% new) for 14 months. The result is a classic, terroir-driven Pinot Noir with depth, grip, and aging potential.
