ready-improve2016 Meursault, Jean-Philippe Fichet

The wines are gloriously intense, pure and balanced. The minerality can be shocking to those expecting a “fat Meursault, Ebut the freshness that accompanies these layered and complex wines is exactly what makes them so profound. In fact, the house style recalls another of Meursault’s rock stars  EJean-Marc Roulot. The same mineral, austerity in youth; the same layered complexity; the same unmistakable terroir signature in each wine. The 2016s have a lot of offer - concentration, breadth and tension. It is a very fine vintage, even if quantities are minuscule.
