Michel Magnien Fixin
Located between Marsannay and Gevrey-Chambertin, the Fixin appellation takes its name from the Latin ”Fiscinum” and ”Fiscinus”, according to the ninth century Acts of the bishopric of Langres. Numerous remains found in the area attest to Roman occupation. The Dukes had their summer residence here. Fixey originally belong to the St Benignus abbey of Dijon.
Tasting Notes
This wine is floral and fragrant with typical Fixin aromas such as undergrowth, musk and a few animal notes. On the palate, the wine is very well built and masculine. A powerful, well balanced wine that can be enjoyed after 4 years’ageing with hare or other game, for example.
