The appellation, created in 1936, covers the communes of Fixin and Brochon and is almost entirely red, from Pinot Noir: in 2022 whites accounted for about 6 of the 101 hectares in production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePremier Cru\u003c\/strong\u003e designation has existed since 1943 and today applies to six climats: Arvelets, Hervelets, Les Meix Bas, Clos Napoléon, Clos du Chapitre, and Clos de la Perrière. They lie on the slope, facing east and southeast, on brown calcareous soils, marlier at Hervelets. At the foot of the slope, where marls outcrop and the soil is deeper, the wine often gains in flesh. The red has deep color, tight tannins, and good acidity: often a little stiff when young, it calls for a few years in bottle. Its aromas commonly include blackcurrant, sour cherry, and animal notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Clos du Chapitre owes its name to the chapter of the canons of Langres, who held the lordship of the village. Just above it, the Clos de la Perrière, with an old quarry and a manor house, belonged to the abbey of Cîteaux as early as 1177 and was sold to the Bouhier family in 1622. In 1816 Jullien placed its wine in the first class, alongside Burgundy's most celebrated crus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe village also preserves the park created by Claude Noisot, a grenadier of the Imperial Guard who followed Napoleon to Elba in 1814: since 1847 it has been home to “Napoleon Awakening to Immortality,” sculpted by his friend François Rude.

The Mongeard-Mugneret estate, a family of winegrowers now guided with wisdom and continuity, builds its identity on meticulous care of the vineyard, a measured approach to yields, and a cellar inclined toward a minimal intervention philosophy, placing the dignity of the soil and its ability to express a distinctive personality over time at the center. The production philosophy favors gentle harvesting, attentive fermentations, maturation in different types of vessels, and clean bottling, preserving freshness and purity without aesthetic manipulation; this gives Fixin 2022 a restrained aromatic palette, where the boundary between red fruit, spicy notes, and a delicate mineral trail is clearly defined, never overpowering. Compared with other expressions from the region, this wine stands out for its elegant texture, the precision of the red wine as it glides across the palate with well-integrated tannins, and a savory quality that carries through the finish without diminishing the invitation to take the next sip. On first contact, notes of cherry and raspberry mingle with hints of woodland and black pepper, while on the mid-palate, the lively acidity sustains the wine’s vitality and allows it to evolve gracefully in the glass, offering a progression suited to a range of dishes, from rustic delicacies to preparations of moderate complexity. The wine’s role in the producer’s range is to offer an entry point to the Fixin terroir without sacrificing the stylistic consistency that characterizes the entire collection; Mongeard-Mugneret offers a sensory journey that invites us to rediscover the stability of the land, the working philosophy, and the patience reflected in bottles capable of evolving over time.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mongeard Mugneret","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56778889953605,"sku":"MONMUG-FIX-BOU-22-075","price":64.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/7376\/7237\/files\/Mongeard-Mugneret-Fixin-2022-AOC-075l.jpg?v=1788873934"},{"product_id":"mongeard-mugneret-fixin-2021-075","title":"Mongeard Mugneret Fixin 2021 AOC 0,75l","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eMongeard Mugneret Fixin 2021 AOC 0,75l is a bottle that invites you to discover Fixin in the Côte de Nuits through a measured interpretation of the terroir, where roundness and freshness coexist naturally and effortlessly. The Mongeard-Mugneret estate, one of Burgundy’s historic names, passes down a family tradition built on carefully tended vines, ethical commitment, and respect for the land: a simple yet rigorous approach that prioritizes the quality of the raw material, patience in the cellar, and attentive vineyard management that takes the seasons, soil, and biodiversity into account. In the vineyard, the production philosophy can be sensed in the wine: hand harvesting, fermentations that listen to the fruit, ageing that enhances its identity without weighing it down, delicate tannins, and an acidic drive that supports the drinkability and extends the finish. The result, Mongeard Mugneret Fixin 2021, stands out for its elegant yet well-supported texture, where the territory’s typical minerality emerges as a subtle thread and aromas of ripe red fruit intertwine with floral notes and a very light peppery flicker, complemented by a hint of undergrowth that evokes the charm of the vineyard. From a sensory perspective, the vivid ruby color announces controlled complexity: on the nose, mature notes of cherry and blackberry are joined by light spice and a minerality that seems to dig into the stones of the soil; on the palate, it offers balanced drinkability, refined tannins, and a structure that promises longevity without dominating, followed by a long finish in which the fruit gives way only slightly to hints of oak while the acidity maintains its liveliness. Within the Mongeard-Mugneret range, Fixin 2021 occupies a position of moderate refinement: while balancing accessibility and complexity, it invites both immediate enjoyment and careful ageing, providing a reliable foundation for connecting the estate’s individual wines into a cohesive and well-structured offering.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mongeard Mugneret","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56778890314053,"sku":"MONMUG-FIX-BOU-21-075","price":65.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/7376\/7237\/files\/Mongeard-Mugneret-Fixin-2021-AOC-075l.jpg?v=1788873935"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/7376\/7237\/collections\/1920px-Fixin__2821_29__C3_89glise_Saint-Antoine_de_Fixey_-_Ext_C3_A9rieur_-_01.jpg?v=1794592408","url":"https:\/\/steltwines.com\/en\/collections\/fixin.oembed","provider":"STELT - Vini Pregiati \u0026 Champagne","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
