In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Pale gold with the mineral precision of limestone slopes and warm stone-fruit roundness from a generous 2022 growing season. White peach and orchard stone dominate, shadowed by almond and gentle spice from eighteen months in French oak demi-muids. On the palate, vibrancy and substance coexist — neither wan nor heavy, but fresh and rich in rare balance, with a rewarding length.

The Winery — Jean-Claude Boisset

Grégory Patriat, former head viticulturist at Domaine Leroy, now steers this Nuits-Saint-Georges négociant with a detailed, vineyard-led philosophy. His wines reflect their lieu-dits with uncommon refinement; Jancis Robinson MW noted she was "utterly knocked out by the balance and refinement" of his work. Founded by the Boisset family in 1961, the company operates from Les Ursulines, a converted convent housing a state-of-the-art gravity-fed cellar. This fourth vintage of Fixin Blanc draws from 'La Sorgentière', mid-forties vines on marl, yielding just 1,920 bottles. The 2022 vintage overcame spring frosts and summer drought through timely rain; harvest began 29 August to immaculate grapes requiring minimal sorting.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

Classical Burgundy Chardonnay: structured, food-friendly, and dressed in oak without dominance. Roasted poultry, butter-sauced fish, and creamy mushroom preparations all find a home here. The 14.5% alcohol integrates beautifully, delivering balance rather than heat. This is a wine for exploring the breadth of white Burgundy beyond crowded appellations, or building a cellar of Whites with Oak that reward both food and time. Serve at 10–12°C; decant briefly to open. Perfect for date nights and thoughtful gifting. Discover more across our wider France collection and complete Chardonnay selection.
