Maison Patriarche, founded in Beaune in 1780 and one of Burgundy's oldest négociant houses, operates from a 17th-century former convent whose five kilometres of vaulted cellars hold around three million bottles, with the house sourcing fruit from carefully selected growers across the region. The Clos du Chapitre is a named Premier Cru climat in the Fixin appellation (Côte de Nuits), set on the mid-to-lower slope with an east-southeast exposure at roughly 320–360 metres altitude, on brown-limestone soils in the upper section and marl-limestone below; its name recalls the canonical chapter of the Cathedral of Saint-Mammès de Langres, whose canons owned vines in Fixin since the Middle Ages.

Fermented in temperature-controlled tanks; aged in French oak barrels.

Identificación
El Clos du Chapitre es un vino tinto de la añada 2018 producido por la Maison Patriarche en la denominación Fixin 1er Cru, región de Borgoña, Francia. Elaborado con Pinot Noir, este climat pertenece a la categoría de primeros crus de Fixin.

Procedencia y elaboración
Maison Patriarche, una de las casas de negociantes más antiguas de Borgoña fundada en Beaune en 1780, trabaja con viticultores seleccionados de toda la región. El Clos du Chapitre se sitúa en la ladera media-baja de Fixin, con una exposición hacia el este-sureste entre los 320 y 360 metros de altitud. El suelo combina caliza parda en la zona alta y marna-caliza en la baja; la denominación del climat recuerda al cabildo de la catedral de Saint-Mammès de Langres, poseedor de viñas en la zona desde la Edad Media.

La vinificación se realiza en depósitos termorregulados, seguida de una crianza en barrica de roble francés.

Perfil y notas
El carácter del vino está condicionado por las condiciones climáticas de 2018, que favorecieron la concentración de la uva.

Carácter general
Se trata de una expresión de Borgoña que une la historia de una casa fundada en 1780 con las características específicas de un climat de primera categoría, marcadas por la calidez de su año de producción y la influencia de los suelos de marna y caliza.

Learn more about Maison Patriarche

Jean-Baptiste Patriarche founded the house in Beaune in 1780 and shortly afterwards made the purchase that still defines it: the convent of the Visitandines, a seventeenth-century building whose underground galleries he turned into a cellar. Those cellars are still the headquarters and are the largest in Burgundy, holding several million bottles; some of the galleries date from the thirteenth century.

The founder looked for buyers abroad from the outset: he was exporting to Great Britain, the Netherlands and Belgium when that was far from usual. The house then passed through hands that each gave it a push: Léonce Bocquet, around 1850, brought it to the courts of Europe; André Boisseaux, from 1940, made it one of Burgundy's major names; and in 1955 Georges Kritter created Kriter, the sparkling wine brand. Since 2011 it has belonged to Pierre Castel, who has invested in the cellars.

It is worth placing it correctly: Patriarche is a négociant house, not a domaine. Its trade is buying, ageing and bottling wine from Burgundy's appellations rather than farming each parcel itself.
