Product Description

The Fixin "Vieilles Vignes" 2023 from Domaine Humbert Frères is a bold and characterful Pinot Noir made from old vines (40–70 years old) rooted in the limestone-rich soils of Fixin. Known for producing structured wines with rustic charm, this cuvée reflects the full personality of the northern Côte de Nuits.

2023 was a fresh and expressive vintage, offering balanced ripeness and vibrant acidity. The Humbert brothers craft this wine with respect for tradition—gentle vinification, native yeasts, and aging in oak barrels to bring out the depth of these old vines.
