Tasting notes
There's a hint of oak on the nose here. A touch toasty but also lightly, smokily reductive. Light note of struck match but it doesn't overwhelm the fruit. Creamy and mealy on the palate to round out the intense, pure citrus fruit. Wonderful clarity of purpose balanced by a softer texture. (JH)

Fichet's 2017 Meursault Village exhibits notes of ripe citrus fruit, white flowers, beeswax and a subtle framing of wood, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny palate that's pure, precise but giving. It's more accessible and immediate than his more intellectual lieux-dits bottlings.
(a blend of five domain parcels; aging in barriques, 10% new): Slightly green-tinged yellow. Lively scents of lemon, lime and white peach lifted by exhilarating notes of white pepper and flowers. Ripe and sweet but penetrating too, with its concentrated flavors of apple and pear enlivened by saline minerality. This very well-balanced village wine finishes tactile and persistent.
