Description

Situated in the village of Marsannay, at the very north of the Côte de Nuits, Domaine Bart produces wines of remarkable freshness, elegance and grace.  Fixin is renowned for producing age-worthy wines with pronounced, chalky tannins, and this is no exception. Impressively deep in colour for the relatively light 2013 vintage, this has a gorgeous floral, spicy perfume and is packed with plum and blackberry fruit. Drink now to 2022.

Wine Spectator90/100
Candied cherry, raspberry, licorice and mineral flavors mark this succulent style. Though elegant, this shows depth and fine length. Best from 2016 through 2023.

Fixin

Fixin

Fixin is a wine appellation in the Burgundy region of France covering the communes of Brochon and Fixin – which was first elevated to AOC status in December 1936. White wines can be made from either Chardonnay or Pinot Blanc (Pinot Gris used to be permitted, but this grape variety was removed in 2011).

Red wines are sturdy and muscular, made principally from Pinot Noir, but they can have small quantities of the three white grapes in them. Situated just north of Gevrey-Chambertin, the red wines are often likened to miniature Gevreys. 

  • 108 hectares of village Fixin
  • 22 hectares of Premier Cru vineyards (five in all). The best include Clos Napoléon, Clos de la Perrière

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or.

Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.

Because of the thinness of the skins, Pinot Noir wines are lighter in colour, body and tannins. However the best wines have grip, complexity and an intensity of fruit seldom found in wine from other grapes. Young Pinot Noir can smell almost sweet, redolent with freshly crushed raspberries, cherries and redcurrants. When mature, the best wines develop a sensuous, silky mouth feel with the fruit flavours deepening and gamey "sous-bois" nuances emerging.

The best examples are still found in Burgundy, although Pinot Noir`s key role in Champagne should not be forgotten. It is grown throughout the world with notable success in the Carneros and Russian River Valley districts of California, and the Martinborough and Central Otago regions of New Zealand.
