Tasting Notes
-
Goedhuis, December 2020
A fine example of Jean-Philippe’s style. Soft and gentle, with white fruit, buttery notes, a hint of panna cotta and vanilla. The luscious fruit is balanced by seamless freshness and a bold line of acid zip. Lovely.

Matthew Jukes, December 2020,
Score: 17A little bit closed and firm, with a hint of muscle on the palate, this is an abrupt wine with little perfume and it needs a chance to settle. It slightly falls between two stools.

Jasper Morris MW, December 2020,
Score: 88-91Fichet’s blended Meursault has a pale lemon colour along with some good fruit weight to the nose. The palate expresses solid powerful white fruit with a few tannins behind. A good level of acidity too enhances the balance. 3 stars

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
Meursault
Meursault is the first great white wine area that one stumbles upon on leaving Beaune. Unlike other white dominated appellations in Burgundy, Meursault has no grand cru vineyards. It nonetheless has significant flair and power which make up for this deficiency. Indeed, if tasted blind some of these wines could even surpass other Burgundian grand crus. They are no fainting daisies. This may partially be due to Meursault's lower water table which enables the roots to delve deep in the soil picking up many trace minerals and which further stresses the vines. In addition, the cellars are more profound and cooler, enabling long fermentations, which increase complexity and longevity. Some interesting red wines are also made.
