"This is excellent, indeed examples of Bourgogne are rarely better - one to buy, especially for value." -Burghound
Fichet's Bourgogne Blanc VV has long been one of the secrets of Burgundy fanatics.
 |
Burghound's quote above makes clear that this is a bottle that very often punches well above its weight class. The vines are old and located in Meursault. You get a presence and class that's exceedingly rare in Bourgogne Blanc.
The 2022 Bourgone VV is incredibly pure, concentrated, and offers plenty of detailed refinement. It has dazzling citrus-infused energy, driving minerality, and a silky, harmonious texture.
Fichet started working in Meursault back in 1981, thanks to his father’s sharecropping agreements. By 1984, he had produced his first wine. Sadly, Fichet was forced to start over from scratch in 1991 when the contracts ended, but today Fichet works with an impressive collection of vineyards thanks to renegotiated long-term contracts. Few winemakers are as dedicated to the health of their vineyards as Fichet and it comes across in each of the wines he produces.
This is one of the great Burgundy values. The quantities available are modest. This is a wine that I'm sure will disappear quickly.
