Overview

Fixin and part of Brochon form a compact vineyard landscape between Marsannay and Gevrey-Chambertin. East-facing slopes favor Pinot Noir wines with dark fruit, earth, and firm tannin; a small amount of Chardonnay gives focused white wine.

Geography & Climate

Vineyards rise above Fixin and extend into Brochon, from lower piedmont sites to steeper east- and southeast-facing slopes.

Soils

Limestone and marl predominate, with brown calcareous soils, scree, and deeper clay toward the foot of the slope.

Wine Styles

Red Pinot Noir dominates and is often firm and ageworthy; limited white Chardonnay is also permitted.
