Description
This delightful Fixin from Albert Bichot shows a very pretty nose of violets and rose scented red fruits. The palate is fleshy with vibrant red fruits and a decent amount of structure coupled with refreshing acidity. Hints of spice come through on the refined, long finish.
Produced in the Côte de Nuits village of Fixin, situated between Dijon and Gevrey-Chambertin, this Pinot Noir is grown on calcareous clay soils with pockets of marl. The vineyards occupy gently sloping sites where significant variations in altitude, sometimes reaching 80 metres within a single plot, contribute to the wine’s character, balance and complexity.
The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully sorted upon arrival at the winery. Fermentative maceration takes place in temperature-controlled wooden vats for 18 to 21 days, allowing for gentle extraction of colour, flavour and structure while preserving the finesse and aromatic purity of the Pinot Noir fruit. Aged in French oak barrels for 14 to 16 months, with 20% to 30% new oak. This maturation regime adds subtle spice, texture and complexity while maintaining freshness and balance.
Founded in 1831, Albert Bichot is an independent, family-owned House now managed by the sixth generation, Albéric Bichot. Since then, they have consistently developed a unique position in Burgundy, combining the expertise of a historic négociant with the authenticity of its own vineyard holdings.
