About this Wine
Think of this as the quietly brilliant type—the one who doesn’t shout, but somehow steals the whole show. One of the plots just promoted to Fixin Village, the other surrounded by other Village level vineyards. The fruit here practically beams: juicy cherry, raspberry, rose petals and a tingle of freshness that makes you want to chase it down the glass. It’s perfumed, punchy, and seriously drinkable. We could talk about structure… but we’re too busy pouring another glass.

Tasting Notes
Perfumed, juicy, and full of zip. From a vineyard just reclassified as Fixin. Future Village in disguise. Be one of the lucky ones.
Fixin Fruit. Village-Level Energy. Messager-Germain's Largest Cuvée.
A blend of two vineyards in Fixin: Ravry, already reclassified as Village, and Potey. Ravry’s upper slopes bring limestone tension; Potey’s deeper clays bring plushness and depth. Together, they make a Bourgogne Pinot that’s far more than the sum of its parts.
Expect a burst of red fruit—black cherry, raspberry, blackberry—layered with violet, rose, and a flash of vanilla. Aged in older oak to let the fruit shine, and vinified with a gentle hand, this is Burgundy you can sip, savour, or just flat-out drink.
📍 The Plots
Both plots sit in the village of Fixin. Ravry brings concentration and lift, Potey brings softness and generosity. Planted with 10 (Potey) & 45-year-old (Ravry) vines, the blend shows real complexity and balance.

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.
Our Take
“Bourgogne in Name, Fixin in Spirit.”

The first wine I ever tasted from Adele & Simon at Messager-Germain—and it left one of the biggest impressions. Perfectly balanced, buzzing with trademark freshness, and absolutely bursting with juicy fruit. A total knockout.

Verified Trustpilot ReviewFAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
Yes. This is ready to drink now, but a little patience could make it even more rewarding. Open one soon, then tuck another away if you want to watch it develop.
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.
