The 2016 Meursault Les Chevalières from Jean-Philippe Fichet showcases Chardonnay grapes exclusively sourced from the esteemed Les Chevalières vineyard in Meursault, Côte de Beaune. Fichet, a renowned figure in Burgundy, cultivates approximately 0.90 hectares in this revered site characterised by stony, shallow soils over limestone. This vintage presents a nose marked by green apple, grapefruit and a distinct chalkiness, complemented by hints of flint. On the palate, the wine displays a precise structure, vibrant acidity and a saline finish, characteristic of its cooler growing season.
91 Vinous
Bright straw-yellow. Musky crushed-stone minerality lifts aromas of fresh peach, lime and orange zest. Boasts terrific salty intensity and minerality on the palate, with an old-vines intensity and inner-mouth tension that call for at least a few years of bottle aging. A concentrated midweight with strong soil character and noteworthy rising, palate-dusting persistence. I prefer this to the Gruyaches for its mineral lift, salinity and stony precision. I tasted these 2016s in New York in August, but at the estate at the beginning of June Jean-Philippe Fichet's assistant Joann Hervey expressed the opinion that the 2016s are closed up and in need of time. I find them more harmonious than that but this Chevalières certainly calls for patience.
