The Fichet Meursaults are rapidly becoming one of my favorite white Burgundies. This bottle had a beautifully expressive nose of lemon peel, floral notes, hints of peach/pear, hazelnut, and a whiff of rock quarry. The palate is very fresh and vibrant (almost surprisingly so for the vintage!) but has very good concentration and depth. This is simply an excellent village level wine at a very reasonable price for the quality. I will continue to buy and will plan to try to explore some of the single vineyard options.

MNB: White Burgundy (Home (Noe st)): (blind) Medium minus straw color (lighter than wine 1). Nose is white burg, but lower ripeness (underripe lemon, green apple) and quite reductive in style - driven by struck match noble reduction. On the palate, tart citrus - almost key lime, lemon, with modest influence of oak - maybe 15% new French again. 12.5% alcohol, medium plus acid - strong and tartaric. My guess is this is lower ripeness Puligny - 3.1 pH, 8g TA, 10% n.f.o. 18 months. Village level.
2016 Puligny Village-level from a top tier producer. Excellent quality.
