Description
Domaine Pierre Gelin is the leading wine producer in the small village of Fixin (pronounced “Fees-an”). The family domaine was founded in 1925 by Pierre Gelin and is today in the hands of Pierre’s grandson, Pierre-Emmanuel, who farms organically with minimal impact. The name Les Hervelets in local dialect means "the place where maple trees grow." Wines from Fixin are typified by their robust, tannic, and sometimes “sauvage” character. This premier cru was completely de-stemmed and aged for 20-24 months in up to 25% new Burgundian pièce. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. Les Hervelets often shows a bit more nuance and finesse than a typical Fixin wine. 100% Pinot Noir.
