Day 2 - Marsannay, Fixin, and Gevrey-Chambertin

  1.  Domaine Droughin-LaRoze: In the village of Gevrey-Chambertin there are 9 Grand Cru vineyards. One of the top winemakers (vignerons) that has most of its processing and cellar is Domain Droughin-LaRoze. They have 6 different plots of Grand Cru and multiple wines in the Premier Cru, Village, and Regional Appellations.
  2. Fixin: We stopped for lunch at a great location Le Cave de Clos. While we didn’t go to any wineries, Fixin is a great village full of lesser known wines.
  3. Marsannay: Our last stop of the day was at the Chateau de Marsanny, where the vineyard was beautiful, but the wine was average.

Didier and his family have been working their plot of land for generations. Didier currently operates out of his basement, which contained a wine cellar that has been aging for decades. To top off our tasting, Didier opened up a bottle of '78 Pinot that was amazing.
