From the Importer:

“Heres another Burgundian village appellation that has always remained in the shadow of a more famous neighbor, in this case Gevrey-Chambertin. Fixin is known locally as the village to go to for solid yet affordablecruburgundy with the structure, concentration, and complexity similar to Gevrey-Chambertins wine, as well as the bright fruit and accessibility of its other neighbor, Marsannay.

Besides its reputation for value, it is also famous locally as the hometown of Captain-Grenadier Claude Noisot, a fanatical loyalist to Napoleon who stood by his side until the bitter end. After Napoleons demise, Noisot built a park in Fixin dedicated to his hero, with statues, a museum, and native Corsican Laricio pine trees. Upon his deathbed, he asked to be buried in uniform, upright and at attention, saber drawn, facing Napoleons grave. Alas, the impenetrable limestone rock under Fixin prevented his wish from ever being realized. That same limestone might explain the appeal of Fixins Pinot Noir.”
