Only just finished malo, and the fruit is ever so slightly on the back foot. Chunkier, more structured blacker style than the Marsannays. L&S (Jan 2013)

Vivid in colour, with an attractively scented fresh red berry fruits fragrance, this is delicately raspberryish with an elegant lean streak of fresh acidity and a really nice purity of Pinot Noir flavour behind the rustic backbone of tannins on the finish.

On the strength of this vintage, Fixin is one of those lesser-known Côte de Nuits appellations that's very much on the up, with wines like this red Burgundy with its fresh red berry fruits fragrance, and behind it some lively raspberry fruit with juicy suppleness of texture and balance.

Very light nose. Quite a broad spread of ripe fruit on the palate with some marked acidity on the finish. 2016-2020 Rating: 15.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2013)
Domaine Huguenot
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 took the bold step of taking the whole domaine into organic production (the conversion was completed in 2010), but immensely sadly he was forced to do a single non-organic treatment in 2016, because of the terrible conditions, so he was back to square one - three years to re-qualify for the organic label. Nevertheless Philippe, although initially unsure if he would try for the certification again was not planning to change the way he works - it is, he assures us, better for him and the environment and and his workers as well as for quality. So he fought his way back, and the wines have been certified organic again since 2019. Philippe now has 23 hectares in production.
