The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. This one comes from a spot that Burgundy drinkers are just starting to catch on to, but absolutely love. Located right above Gevrey-Chambertin, Fixin is one of the most northerly appellations of Burgundy. The Rossignols have a small plot near the Premier Crus called En Tabellion. This is a sturdy red, with aromas of black cherry and blackcurrant and so much tension and sophistication in the bottle.
Domaine Philippe Rossignol Fixin 2017
I’ve been saying for a few years now, that there haven’t been many vintages in the past 30+ years that are as stashable as the 2017 vintage in Burgundy. For real collectors, this has been one of the most consistent and rewarding wells from which to draw. Of course by now, more than five years after they have been released, there are hardly any left to scoop. But luckily, I know a guy in Burgundy who makes outstanding old-vine Pinot Noir and loves to release his wines late. Lucky for all of us!

Philippe Rossignol’s wines are decidedly old-school. Firm upon opening, they blossom with air, revealing layer after layer of complexity, best discovered spending a few days with a bottle. In 2017, the conditions were perfect for classic style Burgundy with temperatures staying low and the weather staying dry enough for a slow, natural and gorgeous ripening season. By the time the fruit came in from vine, the press was already singing its praises. But even just a few years removed from that highly anticipated release, the quality I’ve found in the 2017 vintage remains absolutely off the charts.
