When most wine lovers think of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, they imagine Pinot Noir served with roast duck, beef bourguignon, or game. Yet some of Burgundy’s most characterful wines are remarkably versatile at the table.
Some vineyards become famous because of classification. Others become famous because of fashion. And then there are the rare few whose reputation was established centuries before either existed.
When wine lovers think of the Côte de Nuits, names such as Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny and Vosne-Romanée naturally come to mind. Yet tucked away at the northern entrance to this famous stretch of vineyards lies one of Burgundy’s most rewarding appellations: Fixin.
The world of wine is increasingly obsessed with numbers. We are bombarded with rigid point scales, algorithmic recommendations, and sterile grading systems that try to flatten wine into a neat mathematical metric. But step onto the ancient, chalky soils of the Côte d’Or, and you enter a realm that utterly defies this industrialized logic.
Long overshadowed by the famous villages of the Côte de Nuits, the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits is emerging as one of Burgundy’s most exciting sources of value and quality. Discover how high-altitude vineyards, cooler temperatures, and talented growers like Julien Cruchandeau are producing vibrant, terroir-driven wines that savvy Burgundy lovers are increasingly seeking out.
