FICHET CHARDONNAY JV 2023

In the rolling hills of Mâconnais, Domaine Fichet s vineyards showcase the region s distinctive terroir, particularly in the lieu-dit Chateau London where white limestone, chalk, and clay soils dominate. The estate, established in 1976 by Francis Fichet and now run by brothers Olivier and Pierre-Yves, practices sustainable viticulture across their 20 hectares. The unique microclimate brings morning fog and extra humidity, creating optimal conditions for both Chardonnay and their pioneering Pinot Noir plantings. This vibrant Chardonnay, from vines planted in 1988, exhibits bright citrus notes and green apple freshness, complemented by subtle hints of white flowers and wet stone minerality. The wine s crisp acidity and clean finish make it an excellent representation of pure Mâconnais terroir,
