Note di degustazione
Pale yellow. Musky white peach, pear, hazelnut, smoky oak and a whiff of anise on the nose. Impressively tight and imploded today, showing the mineral energy and thrust of the vintage. Lemon zest and lime blossom flavors convey lovely inner-mouth perfume and lift. Finishes dusty, saline and long, in need of patience.

Tense and tight. A little light on charm – picked a little early perhaps? (JR)
(from 85-year-old vines; tasted at the end of its malolactic fermentation): Stone and orchard fruits complemented by wild herbs, flowers, anise and chlorophyll: smells concentrated. Then chewy, rich and deep on the palate, with a seductive sweetness perfectly buffered by strong saline minerality. Fine-grained, weightless and classically dry, showing a near-perfect sugar/acid balance. The youthfully clenched finish leaves behind notes of lime and stone. The crop level was a solid 45 hectoliters per hectare here in 2014 as there was little hail damage. Fichet's vines are situated at the southern end of this vineyard, which is essentially an enclave within Meursault Charmes but is not classified as premier cru.
