It is an elongated wine region, strikingly narrow and divided into the subregions Yonne (over 6,000 ha, mainly Chablis), Côte d’Or (7,500 ha: Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune), Chalonnais (over 2,000 ha), Mâconnais (6,000 ha), and Beaujolais (18,000 ha). Burgundy belongs to the northern wine regions of Europe. The cool climate ensures that the grapes ripen slowly, resulting in high intensity and refinement. The soil types in Burgundy vary greatly, and viticulture here is highly fragmented. Therefore, when assessing quality, it is very important to pay attention to the producer’s name. The white wines in Burgundy are almost always made from the Chardonnay grape, for red it is Pinot Noir. Fixin, a somewhat lesser-known appellation in the Côte de Nuits, lies between Marsannay and Gevrey-Chambertin, in the north of the Côte de Nuits. Fixin has been known since Roman times, under the names Fiscinum and Fiscinus. The Dukes of Burgundy had a residence here. Mainly red wine is made here, from a total of just under 100 hectares. The soil contains a lot of limestone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eProducer details:\u003c\/em\u003e  Domaine Michel Magnien is a family business with a total of 18 hectares of vineyards. Michel Magnien is the fourth generation and the first to release wines under his own label. Previously, the wines were sold to the cooperative. Son Frédéric is the current manager of the estate. Michel has plots spread over 23 appellations, including Premier Cru and even Grand Cru level in all important communes such as Morey-Saint-Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Chambolle-Musigny. Purity, elegance, and respect for nature are of utmost importance. The estate has been working organically for many years, and since the 2015 harvest, the wines have been Demeter certified. Since 2015, Frédéric has been working partly with handmade 160 l terracotta amphorae for a portion of the wines during fermentation and maturation. In combination with traditional oak maturation, this, according to him, gives the best expression of the terroir. By using these terracotta amphorae, he no longer needs to use sulfur during vinification. Only just before bottling is a small amount of sulfite added to the wines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eServe with:\u003c\/em\u003e Tender beef, veal, lamb, white poultry and game birds, duck, venison, dishes with truffle\/mushrooms, vegetarian vegetable dishes, and mild to semi-spicy cheeses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eServing temperature:\u003c\/em\u003e 16 to 18ºC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAdditional information:\u003c\/em\u003e In the Côte d’Or, the very best vineyards bear the honorary title Grand Cru, of which there are only 32.
