Fixin 1er cru wines, often overshadowed by their more famous Burgundian siblings, are a delightful secret of the Côte de Nuits, showcasing an exceptional balance of fruit and earth. With vibrant cherry and raspberry notes entwined with rustic undertones of forest floor, these wines offer a nuanced complexity. Best enjoyed after a few years of aging, they express the terroir of their sloped vineyards with finesse, and are masterfully crafted by artisans who embrace both traditional and modern winemaking techniques.
