Burgundy / White / Chardonnay / Sustainable

Jean-Philippe Fichet’s Bourgogne Côte-d'Or 2022 is a vibrant and crystalline expression of Chardonnay sourced from parcels near Meursault. Fermented and aged in older oak barrels, this wine offers aromas of white peach, lemon zest, and crushed seashells. The palate is taut and pure, balancing bright acidity with fine minerality and a hint of creamy texture. It’s a striking example of Bourgogne-level Chardonnay that punches well above its weight.
