Domaine HuguenotFixin Petits Crais 2022

About this wine

This elegant Pinot Noir from Domaine Huguenot captures the essence of Fixin, a village appellation in the Côte de Nuits that delivers authentic Burgundian character without the premium price tag. The 'Petits Crais' vineyard produces wines with real personality and depth, perfect for discovering what makes this region so special.

On the palate, expect bright red cherry and raspberry notes layered with subtle earthy undertones and a hint of spice. The wine shows lovely structure with silky tannins and refreshing acidity that keeps things lively. At 13% alcohol, it maintains elegance and balance, with a finish that lingers just long enough to leave you wanting another sip.

This beauty pairs wonderfully with roasted duck breast, mushroom risotto, or a classic coq au vin. Decant it for at least an hour before serving to let the aromas fully open up, and serve at 16-18°C to appreciate all its nuances. It's the kind of wine that makes a weeknight dinner feel like a special occasion.
