About this Wine
If wines had personalities, this would be the understated genius. Quietly top of the class while everyone else is showing off. Officially it’s Bourgogne, but it just got promoted to Fixin Village, and it knows it. Floral and flinty on the nose, with pear, brioche and a hit of salinity on the finish. Cool, composed, and a total overachiever. One of the stars of the range, and an outrageous value.

Tasting Notes
Floral, flinty, and fabulously fresh—from a site just upgraded to Fixin. Get in early!
Bourgogne in Name, Fixin in Spirit. Just 1,000 Bottles.
This floral, flinty Chardonnay hails from Ravry (or Les Raury, depending on your map), a newly promoted plot now officially part of Fixin—just next door to where ‘Côté Jardin’ grows. And like its neighbour, this wine isn’t here to mess about.
Lemon zest, white blossom, and ripe pear lead the charge, backed by a creamy undercurrent and a finish so salty and mouthwatering it practically winks at you. It’s precise, poised, and packed with personality—a wine that whispers elegance but leaves a lasting impression.

The Plot
‘Ravry’ lies in the north of Fixin, now newly classified within the village. With limestone scree at the top and generous clay below, it delivers both freshness and depth.
Technical Details
From 17-year-old vines. Hand-harvested. Long pneumatic press (2.5 hrs), 36-hour settling. Fermented and aged in stainless steel and 30% 600L demi-muids (of 2 wines). Aged 12 months on lees, lightly filtered. 1,000 bottles produced.
Look closely at the vineyard floor and you might spot a flash of blue: Speedwell. Known in French as Véronique, it’s a humble wildflower that thrives between the vines—symbolising life, renewal, and the quiet beauty of working with nature. It’s also the emblem of the Messager-Germain estate.

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. Just 1,000 Bottles. Single Vineyard Source.”

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.
