Commune(s) of production | Côte d’Or > Brochon + Fixin – for premier cru climats this appellation may be followed either by the words Premier Cru, or by the name of the climat of origin, or both – for climats not classed as premier cru by the name of the climat alone. |
The 6 climats classed as premier cru | Arvelets, Clos de la Perrière, Clos du Chapitre, Clos Napoléon, Hervelets, Le Meix Bas Fixin has some complications: Arvelets may also be sold as Hervelets, but not vice-versa! Le Meix Bas may also be (and in practice always is!) labelled as Les Hervelets, but not vice versa! There are an additional two (potential) 1er crus – En Suchot & Queue de Hareng – in practice, both are incorporated into the Clos de la Perrière |
