Description

This is from various parcels within the Meursault commune, covering all aspects of the village. These tend to be cooler clay soils, and the vines are mostly well over 50 years old. The wine was raised in a mixture of 500- and 600-litre vessels. It has an appealing, easy and creamy entry and a correct, properly balanced palate.

About The Wine

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is arguably the most versatile white grape variety in the world. Grown globally and beloved for its adaptability, it can produce wines that range from crisp and mineral to rich and opulent. It thrives in a wide range of soils but performs best in limestone-rich terroirs, such as those found in Chablis, Champagne, and the Côte d'Or.

Jean-Philippe Fichet

Jean-Philippe Fichet made his first vintage in 1981. After a few challenges, he settled into his current – and rather splendid – cellars at Creux du Coche, by the Hôpital de Meursault. About Jean-Philippe Fichet Over the years, Jean-Philippe has built up an array of Meursaults, all from lieux-dits. He has no Premiers or Grands Crus in the village, though there’s a small parcel of Premier Cru Referts in Puligny. In the vineyard Jean-Philippe is very much a vigneron; it’s the time in the vineyard that counts. He believes that soil health is critical, and for 15 years he’s been making and applying his own compost to his vineyards.
