This Domaine has long-produced a Fixin from a tiny, 0.32-hectare single parcel in Les Champs Pennebaut, a terroir located midway up the hill on the Marsannay side of the village. Recently Mortet also purchased a parcel of old vines (60-70 years old) in the southern part of Fixin, on the border of the Gevrey AOC in a vineyard called Les Champs de Charmes. From 2013, this parcel has been a part of the blend. Both sites have the classic clay/limestone soils of the Côte d’Or, though the northern soils are considerably darker.
Arnaud Mortet believes that Fixin has enormous potential. Taste this and you won’t have any trouble agreeing! Like Marsannay, it’s another appellation that can be purchased with reasonable pricing, and we believe this is the village’s finest example. Plush and seductive with all kinds of red and dark fruits and loads of spice. In the context of modern Burgundy, it is a bargain.
