Domaine Huguenot Fixin 2016

Petits Crais. In the north part so going into Marsannay and sandy marls...marl with the texture of the sand. Late harvest. Ripe red fruits. This is juicy and has a bite at the end of the palate. It is a touch more rustic than the Marsannay. It has a some grip on the finish. A bit more austere. “A good wine to have with hare.

  THE STORY: The Huguenots can trace their history in Marsannay and working in the vines back to 1789. Currently the domaine is run by Philippe. His father Jean-Louis expanded the domaine from five to twenty-two hectares (twelve in Marsannay, six in Fixin, and four in Gevrey) before handing over the reins. Philippe has taken the bold step of taking all twenty-two hectares into organic production (the conversion was completed in 2010).
