Fixin Blanc La Cocarde 2022

The 2022 Fixin Blanc La Cocarde from Philippe Charlopin showcases the lesser-known potential of Fixin for white wines, particularly from this specific lieu-dit.

The nose is bright and fresh, offering citrus and white orchard fruits, complemented by subtle floral notes and a pronounced mineral character that reflects the site's limestone-rich soils. The aromatic profile shows both the ripeness of the warm 2022 vintage and the natural freshness of this cooler northern sector of the Côte de Nuits.

On the palate, the wine displays good tension and energy, with vibrant acidity balancing the ripe fruit core. The texture is focused and precise, with mineral elements providing structure and lift. The finish shows good persistence, with citrus and stone notes carrying through.

This wine demonstrates both the interesting potential of Fixin for white wines and Charlopin's skilled interpretation of this distinctive terroir.
