Few wines punch above their weight like Jean-Philippe Fichet's Bourgogne Blanc. Fichet is one of Meursault's master winemakers, and he sources this Chardonnay from parcels in and around his home village, so it drinks like a junior Meursault for a small fraction of the price. Same hands-on farming, same patient 18-month elevage in mostly used wood and then tank, same restraint with lees stirring that keeps his wines racy and transparent. The 2024 is fresh and precise. This is the everyday white Burgundy to keep stocked, an honest, delicious introduction to one of the great addresses in Meursault.

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

From six parcels in the village of Meursault

Soil

Varied clay-limestone

Viticulture

Lutte-raisonnee. Jean-Philippe eschews chemical fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides.

Vinification

Grapes are hand-harvested. Fermentations with malo in barrel and stainless steel tanks. Batonnage is limited depending on the health of the lees and the nature of the vintage.

Aging

12+ months in barrel (very little new), plus 3-6 months in tank

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast or grilled chicken, white fish, shellfish, fresh and soft cheeses, weeknight pasta.

Tasting Profile

Lemon, green apple and white flowers with a stony lift. Medium-light bodied, bright acidity, clean and precise, with surprising length. Dry.
