Fichet Bourgogne Côte d'Or Blanc, France 2023

We absolutely love Jean-Philippe Fichet, a renowned wine maker from Burgundy who tirelessly tends to his vineyards day and night. He was one of the first to recognize the importance of the specific locations, or lieu-dits, in Meursault. Jean-Philippe firmly believes in waiting until the grapes are perfectly ripe before harvesting, which sets him apart from other wine makers who prefer earlier harvesting. His wines are a genuine pleasure to drink, with a focus on the unique characteristics of the terroir and a deep expression of flavor.  Grape: Chardonnay from six parcels in the village of Meursault Soil: Limestone & Clay  Viticulture: Practicing Organic  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
