Domaine Pierre Gelin

Bourgogne Cote D'Or Rouge

Domaine Pierre Gelin is the leading wine producer in the small village of Fixin (pronounced “Fees-an”).  The family domaine was founded in 1925 by Pierre Gelin and is today in the hands of Pierre’s grandson, Pierre-Emmanuel. Pierre-Emmanuel farms organically and works to minimize the impact on the environment in both vineyard and cellar

The family owns 32 acres in total including parcels in five of the Fixin premier crus and the monopole 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.

The Bourgogne Rouge is sourced from vineyards in Fixin and Gevrey-Chambertin, and is matured for 18 months, partially in oak barrels and partially in stainless-steel tanks. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. 

Tasting Notes

Vibrant aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, and subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, it is fresh and approachable, with fine tannins and a touch of spice that adds depth to its juicy fruit core.

Food Pairing

Pairs beautifully with roast chicken or grilled salmon, complementing its bright red fruit and delicate earthy notes.
