  • Goedhuis, November 2021

    Another fine example of Pierre-Emmanuel’s skill in blending 2 different climats within the appellation, Les Casse-Têtes up in the hills and Murger de Monthélie close to Volnay. A very expressive style, with sensations of warm toffee and fresh fudge. Initially the palate starts with silkiness and grace, but as the layers of complexity develop, you feel the vigour, vibrance and great depth in this wine. So much class, this is a total joy.

    A more floral-suffused nose features very bright and fresh aromas of Granny Smith apples, essence of pear and a variety of citrus influences. There is again excellent volume and richness along with even more apparent minerality on the complex and beautifully persistent finale that flashes focused power. This too offers first-rate quality for a villages-level wine. Outstanding. Top value. Drink: 2027+

  • Matthew Jukes, January 2022, Score: 18.5+

    The most backward and the most impressive of the Fichet Meursaults, this is a stunning wine with incredibly restraint and control. The palate is refined and marked with sweet n sour fruit and acid notes, and these roll on for minutes. Not a big style nor is the oak in any way evident here, this is a beautifully balanced wine with lashings of class and beauty. It is worth noting that this style will not appeal to those seeking big-boned, old-style Meursaults.

  • Jasper Morris MW, January 2022, Score: 93

    Bottled late November. Fine pale primrose. The bouquet is notably more backward. I am waiting a moment and then the sense of volume emerges. Significant volume here, a thick but not lush texture, enormous energy, this will need a couple more years in bottle than any of the others.

Visits to Marion Javillier’s cellars are always a delight. Her enthusiasm and passion for her subject and in particular the wines of Meursault are second to none. Like all great winemakers she has his own views as to how wines should be made and the benefits of ageing both in cask and bottle and everything is thought out meticulously with this in mind. She makes wonderfully textbook wines, which for us are the most perfect reflection of the wines of Meursault. Her wines have the natural exuberance that one expects from this the most exotic of the three famous white Côte de Beaune villages, whilst having a complexity of texture that only the very finest vineyards and producers ever seem to produce.Read less

Region

Meursault

Meursault is the first great white wine area that one stumbles upon on leaving Beaune. Unlike other white dominated appellations in Burgundy, Meursault has no grand cru vineyards. It nonetheless has significant flair and power which make up for this deficiency. Indeed, if tasted blind some of these wines could even surpass other Burgundian grand crus. They are no fainting daisies. This may partially be due to Meursault's lower water table which enables the roots to delve deep in the soil picking up many trace minerals and which further stresses the vines. In addition, the cellars are more profound and cooler, enabling long fermentations, which increase complexity and longevity. Some interesting red wines are also made.
