Tasting Notes
A scene-stealing white from a star of the future. Electric, elegant, and scarce. Don’t miss your chance 🍋
Scene-Stealing Fixin. Rising Star of the Côte de Nuits. Just 600 bottles made.
White Burgundy from Fixin is rare. White Burgundy like this is rarer still. From a single plot on limestone-rich soils in the north of the appellation, ‘Côté Jardin’ is both a technical triumph and an expressive beauty. Citrus peel, blood orange, and a flicker of flint light up the nose. On the palate, it’s rich yet precise—brioche, butter, and mineral depth glide together in perfect step.
The Name
‘Côté Jardin’ is stage direction in French—the “garden side” of the theatre. (Much more elegant than our British “stage right”!) Paired with Côté Cour—its red sibling from the same plot—this wine is part of a duo that brings a touch of theatre to the vineyard. But Côté Jardin doesn’t play second fiddle. It takes centre stage with clarity and grace, showing the quiet power of a site that deserves the spotlight.

Fermented in 600L demi-muids. Aged 12 months on fine lees. Light filtration, no fining. Built around noble reduction and minimalist precision.

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
“Scene-Stealing Fixin. Rising Star of the Côte de Nuits. Only 600 bottles made.”

You might be tempted to dismiss a Côte de Nuits blanc as pedestrian. But the Fixin 'Côte Jardin' is anything but forgettable. From the first swirl, it's a luscious duet of spice and cream, with enough acidity to keep things delightfully on edge. It’s elegant, unexpected, and absolutely five-star worthy.
Give me a glass, a garden chair and rain be damned, I’m in my element! This wine doesn’t need a stage; it is the show!

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.

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.
