Question: Who to visit in Fixin and St Romain?

] Hello; ] Sumer is y-cumin in, merily sing cuckoo, or words to that effect. Hence, the ] Dynamic Duo (Xina and self) will be off to France next month. We plan to ] make a three night stop-over in Beaune, or just outside. Apart from visiting ] our "regulars", and looking into a new adress in Meursault, we are going to ] spend some time in Fixin and St Romain. The frist, because Xina is seriously ] fond of the entry-level Fixin from Faiveley. The second, because we took a ] hike round the village last summer and were enthralled - it is too ] beautifull for words. And, they make wine too! OK, it´s not one of the great ] communes, but we have found the odd bottle from there that we like. ] Now, does anybody have any suggestions for wine makers in the respective ] villages? By which I mean, producers based in the village, NOT big ] negociants making wines from that area (Drouhin makes e g a very laudable St ] Romain).

Hi Nils,

Adele is a big fan of Fixin too. We've had some good stuff from a producer named if memory serves 'Huegonot', not sure if the spelling is right. The parcel is Les Herbues, that at least I remember. I think his joint is right in town. We have visited but not for many a moon. A friendly sort as I recall.

Fixin is very charming indeed. Have you been to a resto called "Chez Jeanette?" Not sure it still exists, but nearly 20 years ago it was "with rooms," we stayed a night or two, I remember horribly soft mattresses propped up on paint cans. Food was very nice, though! :)

Never been there but according to the town web site it is still existing - I guess that we´ll have lunch there.
