2024 Jean-Philippe Fichet, Meursault, Le Meix Sous le Chateau

Domaine Jean-Philippe Fichet has established his reputation in Meursault by focusing on the precise expression of individual village-level lieux-dits, with the estate operating under his direction since 1981. This wine is grown in a tiny, steep, west-facing plot in the heart of the village that was planted between 1955 and 1965. In the glass, it presents focused aromas of ripe yellow fruit, butter, and brioche, supported by a structured, mineral-driven texture that balances richness with tension. The 2024 vintage provided a challenging growing season that resulted in lower yields but ultimately produced high-quality, fresh wines defined by clarity and finesse. This bottling offers an excellent opportunity to experience the character of a specific Meursault site, providing the balance required to enjoy now or hold in the cellar for further development.
