Domaine Martine Et Philippe Bernard
Located in Fixin, in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, Domaine Martine et Philippe Bernard, also known as Clos Saint-Louis, is a property passed down from generation to generation. Founded by Edmond Bernard, it was then developed by Maurice Bernard, fFormer mayor of Dijon, and Charles Bernard, mayor of Fixin, before being taken over by Philippe Bernard in 1995. The latter, an oenologist by training and Chevalier du Tastevin since 2011, has skillfully combined modernity and tradition to reveal the subtlety of the Fixin terroir.
The vineyard spans 20 hectares, mostly planted with Pinot Noir, with some parcels of Chardonnay and Aligoté. The vines, cultivated in reasoned struggle, benefit from meticulous work: 100% manual harvesting, long fermentations, and aging in oak barrels for 12 to 15 months. The estate's ambition is to produce structured yet elegant wines, faithful to the expression of the terroir.
Its distinctive point? Vinification that respects the identity of each parcel, combined with subtle aging that enhances the minerality of Fixin wines.
