| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nFichet's 2017 Bourgogne Blanc Vieilles Vignes unfurls in the glass with notes of beeswax, pear, white flowers and waxy lemon rind. On the palate, it's similarly tangy but fleshier and more concentrated, with depth and structure that nod to Meursault.\r\nRobert Parker 90 Points\r\nAbout Jean-Philippe Fichet\r\nJean-Philippe has always been in contact with the vine as he represents the third generation of winegrowers in his family. It was in 1981 thanks to the transmission of a sharecropping lease from his father that his installation took shape.\u00a0The confidence of the latter and that of his owners allow him to work on their premises with their equipment for three years: It is therefore at the age of 20 that he vinifies his first vintage.\r\nThree harvests later, in 1984, the acquisition of the buildings \u201cat Vieux Saint Christophe\u201d allowed him to consider aging and bottling his wines in his own cellars.\r\nBut in 1991 it was desperation, his lease expired and the 4 hectares exploited since 1981 were taken over by one of the owners.\r\nThe seriousness of his work carried out over the previous 10 years allows him to gain the trust of two new owners: a new perspective is emerging!\u00a0Four hectares of vines in Meursault and Auxey-Duresses take place on his estate.\r\nThe premises becoming too cramped, in 2000, he bought a former coaching inn at a place called \u201cle Creux du Coche\u201d in Meursault.\r\n2001 was a year of all the challenges:\r\n- Works to restore the buildings\r\n- Organization of the Saint Vincent Tournante, responsibility for the cellars\r\n- Relocation to the new winery\r\nIt was in 2002 that he created the Sarl Jean-Philippe Fichet, which allowed him to buy the share of grapes that went to its owners.\r\nIn 2006, in order to control the quality of his soils, Jean-Philippe decided to set up a platform in order to make his own composts.\r\nToday he is convinced that it is only at the cost of extreme rigor that each of his wines will express its terroir.\r\nHe knows that respect is a guide in every step of his work. |
