"...dark oak spice but also there’s some good red fruit. More direct and structured but juicily balanced with energetically flavoured. I’d still keep it 2 years in the cellar before attacking but there’s a lot of wine in this glass and the finishing fruit is lovely!!"

—Burgundy Report


"A ripe nose expresses notes of various red berries, earth and a floral top note. There is both good volume and energy to the delicious middle weight flavors that conclude in a refreshing finish."

Domaine Pierre Gelin is the leading wine producer in the small village of Fixin. The domaine has 32 acres within Fixin and in nearby Gevrey-Chambertin, including holdings in five of Fixin’s eight premier crus. They are the monopole owner of one of the very best Fixin premier crus, the Clos Napoléon. The family domaine was founded in 1925 by its namesake Pierre Gelin and is currently in the hands of Pierre’s grandson, Pierre-Emmanuel. Pierre-Emmanuel farms organically and works to minimize the impact on the environment in both vineyard and cellar. Domaine Pierre Gelin endeavors to produce wines that are “pure and honest.”

2022 Domaine Pierre Gelin Bourgogne Cote D'Or Rouge


The Bourgogne Rouge is sourced from vineyards in Fixin and Gevrey-Chambertin, and is matured for 18 months, partially in oak barrels and partially in stainless-steel tanks. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.


Burgundy Report:

The pinot here from Fixin, 70% destemmed. Yes, a little dark oak spice but also there’s some good red fruit. More direct and structured but juicily balanced with energetically flavoured. I’d still keep it 2 years in the cellar before attacking but there’s a lot of wine in this glass and the finishing fruit is lovely!!

Domaine Louis Boillot et Fils Pommard 1er Cru Les Croix Noires 2013


92 Points - Vinous:

"...aromas of raspberry, graphite and blood orange. Dense, sappy and intense, conveying a strong mineral element as well as a delicate violet quality to its red and darker berry flavors. Boasts terrific inner-mouth tension and a light touch. This precise, fine-grained wine boasts uncanny sensuality considering that it's carrying barely 12% alcohol... Drink between 2023-2033." (90-92 pts)


91 Points - Burghound:

"A layered and appealingly perfumed nose is composed of red cherry, raspberry liqueur and rose petal aromas that display an undertone of warm earth. There is good volume and a sleek mouth feel to the delicious and energetic middle weight flavors that possess a slightly tough but not really drying finish. Drink starting 2019." (88-91 pts)
