Jean-Philippe Fichet - Meursault 2023 (750ml) Vulcanesti

Jean-Philippe Fichet - Meursault 2023 (750ml) VulcanestiA blend of Clous, Criots, Chaumes de Narvaux, Crotots and Limozin, this is such a delightful expression of the village. Two thirds of the vines are on the hillside, the remainder from the foot of the slope. This is more than a benchmark for the village: it is layered, spicy and generous, but with iodine freshness and a grippy finish. Thirty percent is made in larger barrels, with a total of 15% new oak.
