Tasting Notes

    Goedhuis, Novmber 2021

    A superb expression of Meursault coming from 5 different vineyard plots in different locations, aspects, and soil types across the appellation. With a touch of freshly buttered toast on the nose, it combines a velvet-like texture due to its creamy volume with a bite of mineral tension as it evolves on the palate. Good length and attractively forward for early drinking.

    A pale green tint here in the colour. This is in a leaner, classically Fichet style. Very precise, intense flavours, some greengage fruit. Some weight at the back of course. More perfumed tasted from a second tank.

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

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.
