Charles's son Philippe, an oenologist, took over in 1995 and, with his wife Martine, began bottling at the estate and welcoming visitors. Their daughter Virginie took the reins in 2026 as the fifth generation, working alongside her father. The domaine farms only plots close to home, from the Rente Giron at Dijon to Les Etelois at Gevrey-Chambertin, in the Marsannay, Fixin, Côte de Nuits-Villages and Gevrey-Chambertin appellations. It grows Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Aligoté, makes about 60,000 bottles a year and is certified Terra Vitis for sustainable farming. Its single-vineyard wines include the Fixin Entre Deux Velles, in the heart of the village, and the Fixin L'Olivier, high on the slope. ## What you will see The visit follows the year's work from the vineyard to the cellar, then ends with a tasting of the domaine's wines in a vaulted cellar. The grapes are picked by hand, fully destemmed and given a cold soak, and the wines age for 12 to 15 months in oak barrels before being bottled at the estate. Philippe Bernard was made a Chevalier du Tastevin in 2011. ## Planning your visit No opening times are published, so contact the domaine to arrange a visit and tasting before you go. Fixin is a short drive from Dijon and pairs well with the Parc Noisot and the Romanesque church of Fixey. The winegrowers of Brochon and Fixin also hold open cellar days each December. ## Did you know? The name of the village is pronounced Fissin, and its churches date back to the 10th and 12th centuries. ## Around Domaine du Clos Saint-Louis What to combine with Domaine du Clos Saint-Louis on the same day, nearest first. ### Villages - [Fixin](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/fixin) (1 km away): A quiet wine village with Napoleon in the woods, a Romanesque church in the vines and firm reds. - [Marsannay-la-Côte](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/marsannay-la-cote) (3 km away): Gateway to the Côte de Nuits and Burgundy's only village appellation making red, white and rosé. - [Gevrey-Chambertin](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/gevrey-chambertin) (3 km away): Nine grands crus, more than any other Burgundy village, led by Chambertin and Chambertin-Clos de Bèze. ### Châteaux - [Manoir de la Perrière](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/manoir-de-la-perriere) (1 km away): A Cistercian manor above Fixin, with one of the oldest wine presses in Burgundy. - [Château de Couchey](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-couchey) (1 km away): A medieval fortified house that grew into a château at the western edge of Couchey. - [Château de Brochon](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-brochon) (1 km away): A Loire-style château built by the poet who gave the Côte d'Azur its name. ### Things to do - [Saint-Antoine Church, Fixey (Église Saint-Antoine de Fixey)](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/eglise-saint-antoine-de-fixey), 1 km away: A small Romanesque church above the vines of Fixin, with a stone roof and a glazed-tile bell tower. - [Noisot Park and Museum (Parc et Musée Noisot)](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/parc-noisot-fixin), 1 km away: A pine-covered hillside above Fixin, created by a loyal grenadier as a shrine to Napoleon. - [Domaine Isabelle Lippe](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/domaine-isabelle-lippe-brochon) (1 km away): A small domaine in Brochon run by two women winegrowers, with tastings led by the grower herself. ### Restaurants - [La Table d’Hôte, La Rôtisserie du Chambertin](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/la-table-d-hote-rotisserie-du-chambertin-gevrey) (3 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): A starred tasting table in an eighteenth-century house in the heart of Gevrey-Chambertin - [Origine](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/origine-dijon) (9 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): A Lameloise-trained Japanese chef cooking Burgundy's seasons on place Wilson - [William Frachot](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/william-frachot-dijon) (9 km away · 2 MICHELIN stars): Dijon's two-star table, reinventing Burgundy's classics inside the Hostellerie du Chapeau Rouge ### Events - **Saturday 5 – Sunday 6 December 2026 (Expected dates, not yet confirmed)** · [Caves ouvertes de Fixin et Brochon](https://www.cote-privee.com/events/caves-ouvertes-fixin-brochon): Thirteen estates of Fixin and Brochon open their cellars on a December weekend.
