ready-improve2016 Meursault, Jean-Philippe Fichet

The wines are gloriously intense, pure and balanced. The minerality can be shocking to those expecting a “fat Meursault,” but the freshness that accompanies these layered and complex wines is exactly what makes them so profound. In fact, the house style recalls another of Meursault’s rock stars – Jean-Marc Roulot. The same mineral, austerity in youth; the same layered complexity; the same unmistakable terroir signature in each wine. The 2016s have a lot of offer - concentration, breadth and tension. It is a very fine vintage, even if quantities are minuscule.
