Domaine Jean-Philippe Fichet, Meursault, Les Gruyaches, Premier Cru 2015

“Once again firm reduction relegates the underlying fruit to the background. Otherwise there is a really lovely inner mouth perfume to the subtly mineral-inflected flavors that also possess a caressing palate impression on the balanced and lingering finish. This isn’t super-complex at present though the material appears to be present such that more depth will almost certainly develop and my range presupposes that will occur.”-89-91BH♥, Outstanding, 2021+

Note: Fichet says that these vines directly abut Charmes and are his oldest as they were planted in 1918
