Gruyaches is one of the jewels Jean-Philippe Fichet has brought into the light. This Meursault master farms a tiny plot of vines pushing 80 years old, tucked right up against the Charmes premier cru, and that old-vine depth shows in the glass. His method is unwavering: hand farming, a patient 18-month elevage in mostly used wood and then tank, minimal lees stirring, all aimed at transparency, freshness and length. The 2024 is fresh and precise. Expect more mid-palate weight and concentration than the entry wines here, a single-vineyard Meursault that frequently drinks like a premier cru. Reward it with a little cellar time.

More about Jean-Philippe Fichet

You know the story: As the most famous white burgundy producers become scarcer than hen’s teeth, even the producers we used to call “overlooked” are becoming allocated. The growers we used to depend upon to stock our shelves with great Chardonnay have become once-a-year treats that don’t make it to the shelf for long, if at all. For better and for worse, we can add Fichet to the list. Hard as it is for his fans, it’s obviously fair: Fichet is as big a talent as they come in Burgundy and nobody does a better, more meticulous job of expressing their terroir. He has lots of old vines with deep roots and the naturally low yields that give you not just his sites' tastes, but even their unique textures. He accentuates the natural concentration by managing yields through rigorous winter pruning rather than a heavy summer green harvest. (That was one of Jayer’s secrets, too: he said that by the time the vine had created all those shoots you spend the summer pruning, the vine had wasted too much of it's essential goodness). The farming is “lutte raisonée,” minimizing inputs. Most wines ferment in barrel (generally, older) on wild yeasts, and age for 11-18 months depending on the vintage and the site. Likewise, though Jean-Philippe uses relatively little batonnage, he will use some in certain vintages or cuvées. The resulting wines are delicious and pure, with the sense of terroir that makes them worth thinking about, and the delectable fruit that makes us want just to drink them up.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Vineyard

A small parcel of 80-year-old vines at the base of Charmes. Fichet added drainage in the late 1990s to limit vigor.

Orientation

East

Soil

clay-limestone

Viticulture

Jean-Philippe aims to know his vines, and to work with them to find a healthy equilibrium. Grapes are hand harvested.

Vinification

Fermentations take place in barrel and wine goes through malo in barrel.

Aging

12+ months in barrel (1/6 new), plus 3-6 months in tank

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Lobster, roast chicken or capon, scallops, creamy fish and mushroom dishes, Comte.

Tasting Profile

Ripe orchard fruit, citrus, hazelnut and a deep stony core. Medium to full-bodied, bright acidity, weighty mid-palate, long finish. Dry.
