Vintage Character Domaine Philippe Charlopin‑Parizot Fixin La Cocarde 2020 is a vibrant and textured white Burgundy that highlights the potential of Chardonnay from the northern Côte de Nuits. The 2020 vintage in Burgundy was shaped by a warm, dry summer, producing wines of concentration and ripeness balanced by freshness, resulting in whites with both richness and precision.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing This cuvée opens with aromas of citrus, pear, and white peach, accented by floral notes and a touch of hazelnut. On the palate, it is medium‑ to full‑bodied, with a creamy texture lifted by lively acidity and a mineral backbone, finishing long and elegant. Its balance of richness and freshness makes it a versatile partner for dishes such as grilled sea bass with lemon butter, roast chicken with herbs, or a goat cheese tart, where the wine’s layered character complements both delicate and savory flavors.
Winery Background Founded in 1977, Domaine Philippe Charlopin‑Parizot has grown from a modest 1.5 hectares to more than 25 hectares across the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Chablis. Philippe Charlopin, once a protégé of the legendary Henri Jayer, is recognized for producing wines that combine Burgundian terroir transparency with a fuller, more modern style. The domaine farms prestigious parcels including Chambertin, Clos Saint‑Denis, Bonnes‑Mares, and Corton‑Charlemagne, while also crafting expressive village and regional wines such as Fixin La Cocarde. The estate’s philosophy emphasizes ripe fruit, careful vineyard management, and minimal intervention in the cellar, resulting in wines that are approachable yet capable of aging, with a distinctive signature of richness balanced by elegance.
