Bourgogne Rouge, Jean Philippe Fichet 2022/23

Jean-Philippe Fichet, Meursault

Decades of experience, Jean-Philippe is making classic but refined white Burgundies with great terroir definition resulting in many well-deserved accolades for these truly exceptional wines. Having tried and tested, finely tuning his skills for over 30 years in the vineyards and winery, results in wines as close to perfection as you could hope. His wines show excellent balance between fine fruit ripeness and concentration yet with telling vibrancy, minerality, energy and true precision.

From two plots, Les Dressoles and les Lameroses, planted on clayey-limestone soils, "Les Dressolles" has a little more sandy silt and deep soils with more vine vigour.

In the cellar, Jean-Philippe practices minimal intervention. Fermentation occurs naturally using indigenous yeasts, and wines undergo an 18-month élevage—12 months in predominantly used oak barrels followed by 6 months in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness. This approach results in wines that are precise, mineral-driven, and reflective of Meursault's unique terroirs.

Aromas of red berries mingle with subtle earthy and funky nuances, complemented by abundant floral hints. On the palate, the wine is fresh, vibrant, and effortlessly approachable.
