2022 Jean-Philippe Fichet Collection

Jean-Philippe Fichet has quietly risen to the upper echelons of winemakers in Meursault over the past couple of decades. Or, we should say he was quietly rising, but since about the 2019 vintage the press and Burgundy lovers around the globe have been paying close attention to the exceptional quality that Fichet consistently achieves. As such the wines are now very limited and highly allocated. 

The style that Jean-Philippe has always preferred is for taught, muscular white Burgundy that is driven by minerality and crisp, just ripe fruit. He’s in the same stylistic camp as his famous neighbors Dominique Lafon and Jean-Marc Roulot, though his wines tend to be less reductive out of the gate. As he will tell you, Meursault’s unique terroir supplies all the weight and richness, and his job is to show restraint and achieve excellent balance. We think he does so in spades. 

His approach plays very well with the warm, yet not excessively so, 2022 vintage, and we agree wholeheartedly with Allen Meadows assessment below. These are highly collectable wines that are worth of the most discerning Burgundy aficionado’s cellar for sure. We have a few cases of the Bourgogne Blanc, everything else is mostly just a handful of bottles. Don’t miss out on this chance to score some top, top tier white Burgundy.
