Premiers Crus
There are five climats in Fixin classified as Premier Cru vineyards, of which one straddles the border of the communes of Fixin and Brochon, and the rest are located entirely within Fixin. All these vineyards are located together in the western part of the commune, slightly uphill from the Route des Grands Crus. Their wines are designated Fixin Premier Cru + vineyard name, or as just Fixin Premier Cru, in which case it is possible to blend wine from several Premier Cru vineyards within the AOC.
In 2007, 13.92 hectares (34.4 acres) of the total Fixin vineyard surface consisted of Premier Cru vineyards, of which 13.42 hectares (33.2 acres) red and 0.50 hectares (1.2 acres) white Fixin Premier Cru. The annual production of Premier Cru wine, as a five-year average, is 1,541 hectoliter of red wine and 42 hectoliter of white wine.
