Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc, 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.

Jean Philippe Fichet manages several small vineyard plots scattered across different Lieu-dits, focusing on producing limited quantities to highlight the unique character of each terroir. As a dedicated grower, he firmly believes that attentive vineyard work and maintaining healthy soils are essential for quality. To support this, he creates and applies his own compost and follows organic farming methods.

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 mandarins and limes, the palate is full, intense and textured, with flavours of buttered toast. A wine with great aging potential.
