2024 Jean-Philippe Fichet, Meursault

Domaine Jean-Philippe Fichet is a respected estate in the village of Meursault, where Jean-Philippe has been producing wine since 1981, building his holdings parcel by parcel over the decades. This wine is made from Chardonnay grown in several distinct, village-level lieux-dits, where the vines are managed with organic farming practices and deep-rooted care for the limestone-heavy soils. In the glass, it reveals a focused and mineral-driven character, offering notes of citrus peel, green apple, and a subtle, flinty salinity, all held together by a structured, persistent texture. The 2024 vintage provided a return to a cooler, more traditional growing season, resulting in a wine defined by its high-toned energy, precise acidity, and clear aromatic purity. This is an excellent choice for those seeking a transparent, balanced expression of Meursault that is energetic enough to enjoy now but possesses the structure to evolve over the next several years.
