Tasting Notes

    Goedhuis, December 2020

    A lovely flowing style, full of clotted cream and fudge flavours, but with fresh, balancing acidity. A mini-Meursault: gloriously approachable with an underlying structure and freshness. Already delicious.

    Score: 16.5

    Cool, slightly green and grassy on the nose and nowhere near the silkiness of Javillier’s Forgets, this is a bright, willowy, lean wine with cleansing acidity and light touch throughout. Summer 2021’s house glugger.

    Score: 87-89

    Pale colour. The nose is powerful, not in an alcohol sense, but just suggesting a significant weight of flavour on the palate. Very pure white fruit, this is really brilliant, even ahead of Vides Bourses this year. There is such a huge wealth of flavour behind, excellent acidity, this will take a really long time. Really impressive. 4 stars

Producer

Domaine Jean-Philippe Fichet

This has got to be the most well organised cellar in the Côte de Beaune. Jean-Philippe’s attention to detail in his winery is a good indication of his handling of fruit, and goes some way to explaining the precise and distinct characteristics found in his wines each possessing their own unique timbre. These wines are made with great care and patience, and all enjoy 12 months in barrel (he tends to use larger 600 litre demi-muids rather than the traditional 228 litre pièces) followed by a further 6 months on fine lees in tank. His painstaking attention to detail is demonstrated in his wines, which are pure and seamless. Though most of his wines are only village lieux dits, they could easily be mistaken for premiers crus.

Region

Bourgogne

This blanket regional appellation can apply to wines throughout Burgundy (60% of the area's production) as long as they comply with regulations relating to grape type, yield and alcohol content. Reds and roses are from Pinot Noir or Gamay. Whites are Chardonnay. They are usually the most straightforward of the Burgundy wines, and as a result are the least expensive and the most approachable upon release. In the hands of a more serious producer these can represent exceptional value and quality. The wines are made with the same care and attention to detail as their grander wines. However, they may not qualify for a village or communal appellation because the vines are too young or the vineyard area is outside the appellation boundary.
