Red Wine

2011 Fixin Red Blend

The Michel Noellat Red Wine, a delightful red blend from the charming Fixin region, showcases a captivating ruby hue that hints at its complexity. This vintage from 2011 offers a medium-bodied experience, perfectly balanced with a mild acidity that enhances its drinkability. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of dark cherry and blackcurrant flavors intertwined with subtle earthy undertones. Tannins are notably firm yet smooth, providing a structured backbone that supports the wine's richness. As a dry wine, it invites a lingering finish that leaves a lasting impression, making it a superb choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying by itself on a cozy evening.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
