THE WINE:

The Crais de Chêne is a climat on the alluvial cone between the villages of Couchey and Fixin. The plot (1.7 hectares / 4.25 acres) is composed of limestone rockfall soils mixed with clay. The perfectly ripened grapes of these 55-year-old vines produce rounded tannins.

The Fixin Crais de Chêne is a wine with a generally sunny nature, structured by assertive tannins, with frank minerality, and a saline finish. Time allows the wine to mellow in texture, and the wild aromas of youth give way to a more complex expression (fruity and floral). It has a lot of energy.

It is a balanced wine with good ageing potential, from 5 to 15 years. We recommend decanting just before serving.

Depending on the vintage, we use 50% whole-bunch fermentation, and ageing lasts about 12 months in barrels (with 20% of new barrels) and 6 months in stainless steel tanks.

It pairs well with cooked meats, such as sliced beef with black mushrooms and a soy glaze, or a prime rib of beef and its juices with grape must, a filet mignon of pork with sweet and sour sauce, or a haunch of venison.

Domaine RENÉ BOUVIER

Family estate for 3 generations directed by Bernard Bouvier . The estate was created in 1910 by the grandfather, Henri Bouvier. René Bouvier, Bernard's father, took it over in 1950, and developed it to reach an operating area of 17 hectares of vines from Marsannay to Gevrey-Chambertin (grands crus, premiers crus, villages and regional appellations). 

The entire range has been certified organic since the 2013 vintage.
The estate has very old vines up to 90 years old.

Bernard Bouvier:
"Through vibrant, living wines that have a soul, we seek to perpetuate the exceptional diversity of terroir wines."
