Meursault Les Tessons Jean-Philippe Fichet
The wine
Meursault Le Tesson has a bright yellow visual aspect. The nose emphasises aromas of white flowers (linden) and mineral notes. After a polished attack, the palate develops towards a beautiful saline tension. Its length is remarkable.
Jean-Philippe Fichet entered the world of wine at 20; 1981 marked his first vintage, following three years vinifying at the family estate. Two generations of winemakers preceded him, culminating with his father, who passed on a sharecropping lease to enable him to produce his own wines. The winemaker has since tirelessly negotiated long-term agreements, today enjoying a splendid range of climats in Meursault (premier crus such as Les Chevalières, alongside renowned localities like Le Tesson, Les Gruyaches, and Le Meix sous le Château), as well as in Auxey-Duresses, Monthélie, and Puligny-Montrachet.
The estate is certified organic and works with utmost care and tradition both in the vineyard and winery. House-made composts, no pesticides, ploughing, strict disbudding, green harvesting where needed, handpicking, pneumatic presses, native yeasts, and ageing in oak casks followed by stainless-steel vats are the hallmarks behind taut wines showing striking minerality, vivid fruit and opulence – formidable partners to gastronomy.
An estate known mainly to informed enthusiasts, well worth discovering.
