"Powdery and plump in Fixin, a chubby baby whose tender fruit is already happily revealing itself." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2020 - RVF) This high-quality Fixin is refined and delicate on the nose. On the palate, the attack is tender, with lovely, very pleasant fruit and a lively structure due to a beautiful mineral presence. The lovely liveliness and good persistence are accompanied by notes of red fruit on the finish. Simply delicious!

Rated estate (2020 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
Bernard Bouvier is one of the very best winemakers in Marsannay, showcasing the rich heritage of this commune. A staunch advocate of infusion, breaking with the heavy extraction methods that Burgundy used in the past, he loves wines with body, good when young and good when aged, harvested at peak ripeness, and intervenes as little as possible. He is guided in his choices by emotion and touch. The estate offers a warm welcome, an organic approach, and a range of benchmark Gevrey, Marsannay, and Fixin wines that are affordable and highly consistent. This is a place that never disappoints, with wines that are as close as possible to their terroir of origin, thanks to the tactful winemaking that characterizes the estate's production.

About the estate:
This family estate, which has been in the same family for three generations, boasts a rare heritage of old vines, with an average age of around 50 years. Bernard Bouvier, 52, produced his first vintage in 1986 and is part of a generation of winemakers who have brought new blood to Burgundy. After succumbing, like many others, to the siren call of modern, highly extracted wines, he corrected his course to produce finer vintages. 2009 marked the transition to organic farming and 2010 the beginning of the use of whole bunches, on average 50% across all wines. More moderate use of new wood and more precise ripeness choices have recently resulted in much more accomplished wines, which were rewarded last year with a first star. Organic certification was lost in 2016 but is currently in the process of being reapproved.
