En un regard
Le château en bref
The Manoir de la Perrière, in Fixin (Côte-d'Or), is a 12th-century manor house founded by the Dukes of Burgundy and associated with the adjoining Clos de la Perrière vineyard. From 1142 to 1622, monks from the Abbey of Cîteaux managed it and made it a retreat house. The lever press (pressoir à leviers et taissons), installed in the 14th century and modified in the 17th, is among the oldest in Burgundy. Owned by the Joliet family since the mid-19th century, the estate produces exclusively Fixin Premier Cru Clos de la Perrière, from 4.5 hectares of Pinot Noir and 0.5 hectare of Chardonnay. The manor has been listed (inscrit) as a Monument historique since 9 September 1996, and its press has been classified (classé) since 3 February 2000.
