• Jean-Philippe Fichet tests the limits of transparency to find the very soul of Meursault’s terroirs. Through a series of Meursault lieu-dits, he works to reveal the intense stoniness of the limestone-centric soils of this famed White Burgundy village.
• A tireless and devoted farmer, Fichet is often in the vines from dawn to dusk. Among his many distinctions is a belief in severe winter pruning rather than green harvesting.
• Fichet’s cellar is so spotless one could eat off the floor. It is in this cool, perfectly organized cellar that the wines go through a patient 18-month élevage, including 12 months in mostly used wood followed by 6 months in tank. With very little lees stirring, Fichet achieves focused, racy, and electric wines without artifice. 

Tasting note: Here too there is a spicy character to the more floral if less citrusy aromas of essence of pear, apple and passion fruit. The equally elegant and pure medium-bodied flavors that possess more concentration and power on the gorgeously textured and impressively lengthy finale. This wonderfully stylish effort often rivals the Referts in quality and it appears that it will do the same in 2020. Excellent. Outstanding. Top Value
