Fichet, Jean-Philippe Meursault ‘Le Meix Sous le Château’ ‘22

The 2022 Jean-Philippe Fichet Meursault ‘Le Meix Sous le Château’ is a richly textured yet elegant white Burgundy from a west-facing, steep vineyard planted in 1953. Known for its creamy, almost viscous mouthfeel balanced by fresh acidity, this Chardonnay delivers citrus and mineral tones with a pure, structured mid-palate and long finish. Though youthful and currently somewhat closed, it promises complexity with age, revealing classic Meursault depth without the buttery clichés. The vineyard’s heavier clay soils contribute to the wine’s breadth and richness. Fichet’s meticulous, low-intervention approach and deep focus on terroir expression place this lieu-dit among the most compelling village-level Meursaults.
