Domaine Jean Philippe Fichet Meursault 'Les Chevalières' 2016
Vintage Character
Domaine Jean-Philippe Fichet Meursault “Les Chevalières” 2016 is a village-level Chardonnay from the celebrated white wine commune of Meursault, drawn from the stony lieu-dit Les Chevalières on the slope above the village, which is known for giving a more racy, mineral-driven expression than many of the appellation’s richer sites. The 2016 vintage in the Côte de Beaune was marked by severe spring frosts that cut yields dramatically, followed by a generally warm, dry growing season that produced concentrated yet classically balanced wines with lively acidity and clear terroir definition.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
In the glass this shows lemon zest, ripe pear, green apple and white peach layered with white flowers, chalky minerality and subtle hazelnut complexity. The palate is precise yet generous, medium-full in body with vibrant, medium-high acidity, a creamy lees-derived texture and discreet oak tones of vanilla, toast and buttered almond, leading to a long, saline, stone-inflected finish with gentle hints of honey and brioche as it evolves in bottle. Limited production from this small parcel makes it particularly sought after, and its combination of tension and depth makes it an outstanding partner for dishes like butter-poached lobster, roast chicken with morel sauce or seared scallops, as well as hard Alpine cheeses such as Comté or aged Gruyère. Based in Meursault, Jean-Philippe Fichet has patiently assembled his domaine parcel by parcel, and has become especially admired for elevating modestly classified lieux-dits such as Les Chevalières to a level often compared with premier cru in terms of nuance and precision.
Winery Background
After his family vineyards were divided, Fichet built his own estate with a meticulous approach in the vines, working with controlled yields, careful canopy management and close attention to picking dates to secure healthy, concentrated Chardonnay that reflects each site. In the cellar, he favors minimal intervention, gentle pressing, fermentation and aging in oak with a restrained proportion of new barrels, and long, attentive élevage to capture purity, energy and the distinct character of each parcel rather than overt winemaking signatures. His focus on clarity of terroir expression and finely etched texture has made his bottlings benchmarks for modern, mineral, site-driven Meursault.
