Tasting notes
Orange, lemon, crushed stone, spices and toasty, vanillin oak on the inviting nose. Juicy, energetic and penetrating, with a minerally precision to the tangerine and orange blossom flavors. This very young wine already boasts lovely inner-mouth perfume. Still a bit youthfully spiky, and in need of at least six or seven years of cellaring. Quintessential Meursault with spine: my kind of wine.

Precise aromas of orange, peach and sexy spicy, vanillin oak. Fat, chewy and ripe, boasting an exhilarating sugar/acid balance. The brisk mineral and lemon flavors offer terrific verve. This comes across as less fat and creamy than the Meix but at least as rich. Made from 75-year-old vines, Fichet's Gruyaches is invariably one of my favorites from this domain.
