About this Wine
A beautiful little wine, and one of those bottles that reminds you just how much joy there is below the famous appellations. From just 490m² of old-vine Pinot Noir, this is all perfume and delicacy: ripe cherry, wild strawberry, clove and black pepper, carried with an almost weightless elegance. Only 301 bottles were made. A tiny, irresistibly pretty Burgundy made for the sheer pleasure of drinking.

Tasting Notes
Barely 300 bottles of perfumed, silky Pinot. Pure pleasure from the very first glass.
The first thing that hits you is the perfume. Cherry and strawberry rise immediately from the glass, joined by that unmistakable winter-spice character of clove and freshly cracked black pepper.
Everything about it feels delicate and beautifully judged. The fruit is vivid rather than heavy, the spice sits quietly underneath, and there’s a softness and purity that makes it incredibly easy to fall for.
There are wines you analyse, and wines you simply want another glass of. This is very much the latter. Pretty, fragrant and completely charming, it is already drinking beautifully and feels made for immediate enjoyment.

The Plot
The Pinot Noir comes from En Malpertuis in Couchey, just north of Fixin, from the very same vineyard that produces Simon and Adèle’s Coteaux Bourguignons Chardonnay.
The difference is where the vines sit. The Pinot occupies the stonier upper part of the vineyard, while the Chardonnay grows lower down on the richer soils.
The parcel was planted in 1981 and covers only 0.049 hectares, around 490m². Clay-limestone and silty soils run through the site, but the higher position of the Pinot brings a greater proportion of stone and naturally gives the wine a more delicate, lifted character.
It is a microscopic parcel, and in 2024 it produced just 301 bottles.
Technical Details
The Pinot Noir was harvested by hand on 21 September 2024 and completely destemmed.
The fruit underwent an eight-day pre-fermentation period at 8°C, followed by an extremely gentle extraction. Simon and Adèle used just two light punch-downs, relying mainly on gentle pump-overs with very little oxygen.
The wine then spent 12 months in 2020 oak barrels before being racked from the bottom of the barrel and bottled without filtration.
From just 0.049 hectares, total production was only 301 bottles.

Discover Their Story
Famille Messager-Germain is Burgundy’s next big thing: bold, bright, and born to shake things up.
Adèle and Simon trained in Beaune, cut their teeth with icons like Groffier and Drouhin, and came home to Fixin to revive old family vines.
Now they’re bottling tiny, thrilling cuvées that fuse deep roots with fearless ambition.

A few words from people who’ve opened our bottles
FAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
Yes. This is ready to drink now and should give plenty of pleasure straight away. Open it for its perfume, texture and charm rather than waiting for the perfect distant moment.
Should I buy one bottle or a few?
One to try, three if you want to follow it over time, six if you already know the producer or style. Burgundy moves quickly, and small parcels rarely hang around for long.
What if I’m not sure this is my style?
Use our live chat, or pop us an email. We specialise in Burgundy and are always happy to help. Our tasting notes are based on wines tasted by our founders and updated regularly, so you can buy with proper confidence.
How quickly will it arrive?
Fast. We ship every wine on a next-working-day service and dispatch Monday to Friday. At checkout, you can even choose a delivery day that suits you.
How is it packed?
Each bottle is wrapped in tissue before being carefully placed into our specially imported Italian boxes, tested to rigorous standards. We have literally dropped them from the first storey of our house. All our packaging is paper-based and recyclable.
Can I send it as a gift?
Absolutely. As standard, our wines arrive wrapped in bespoke tissue paper. At checkout, you can also add gift bags, gift boxes and notes.
