Description
Still red from Burgundy, Fixin 1er Cru, 13.5% ABV, produced by Domaine Pierre Gelin. 100% Pinot Noir, 2018 vintage, 0.75L bottle. A wine born from the passion of Pierre Gelin, who has been producing high-quality wines since 1925, with a particular focus on organic farming. The vines are grown organically. To obtain quality grapes with optimal ripeness, the vines are defoliated very selectively, removing the leaves by hand. The nose is elegant and subtle, more floral (violet) than fruity. Carmine in color of moderate intensity. On the palate, there is a floral attack with a hint of mint that provides an immediate sensation of freshness. A stone fruit freshness then dominates the mid-palate. But the charm of this vintage comes from its exceptional aromatic purity: raspberries, cherries, and licorice compose an unparalleled harmonious bouquet.

To obtain high-quality grapes of optimal maturity, the vines are disbud in a very selective manner, and remove leaves by hand.
For the need to respect the environment, the Domaine uses rainwater to wash its tractors and has installed a "plant container" to process water used to rinse sulphating equipment. The fermenting room is equipped with a screen and a sludge remover, so no wine-making effluents are discharged into the public network.
Vinification follows the traditional methods but adapts in order to continuously improve the quality of the wines. The wines mature in oak barrels – the percentage of new barrels varies depending on the Crus and vintages – to give light woody note, from 20 to 22 months. The wines are then bottled on the estate and are only marketed after being stored for a year or two in our cellars. Read more
