Château de Marsannay - Fixin 2011

Château de Marsannay - Fixin 2011

With a deep, rich color, the estate’s Fixin is intense on the nose, revealing black fruit with subtle roasted notes. The attack is clean, leading to a dense, elegant, and balanced mid-palate, with silky tannins and a lovely finish. A wonderful bottle!

Rated estate (2020 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

Olivier Halley, a descendant of the family that owns Promodès and a shareholder in Carrefour, purchased this 40-hectare estate—including 28 hectares in Marsannay—in 2012, at the same time as the Château de Meursault, and entrusted its management to Stéphane Follin-Arbelet. The investments in viticulture, technology, and personnel—which were necessary because the estate had gone through a difficult period—are beginning to pay off. Sylvain Pabion, after working at Bertrand Minchin’s Clos Delorme, joined the château to oversee operations and hospitality. A large reception hall here can seat up to 350 people, which is rare in the Burgundy wine region.
