ESTATE HISTORY

Founded in 1935 by Antoine Clavelier, Maison Clavelier was acquiered in 2001 by Henri-Noël and Isabelle Thomas. Animated by their passion for wine, they combine art and tradition with respect for the terroirs to offer the palates of connoisseurs the greatest wines of Burgundy.
In 2020 and after several years at the head of the Maison and Domaine Clavelier, Isabelle Thomas handed over this 2.8 hectare estate to her son Paul to ensure its continuity. Quality and authenticity, the key words of Clavelier.

TERROIR

A little-known appellation of the Côte de Nuits, Fixin is located between Dijon and Gevrey-Chambertin. Exposed to the east and south-east, the soils are clay-limestone. The vines are planted between 350 and 380 methers above sea level.

WINEMAKING

The harvest is done by hand. Once destemmed, the grapes are placed in stainless steel vats. Aging takes place in oak barrels for 10 to 12 months.

TASTING & FOOD PAIRINGS

Its aromas sing of red fruits, very pleasant. Beautiful attack on the palate, round with a solid structure. Its fat is remarkable, its texture delicate.

This wine goes perfectly with duck, braised pork, parsley steak and poultry. For cheeses, he appreciates both the delicacy of a chaource and the fruitiness of a Comté.
To serve between 13°C and 15°C.
