The 2016 Tesson chez Fichet is my favorite of his lovely lineup of lieux à dits Meursault cuvées this year, as this wine is truly outstanding. The nose is pure, refined and zesty, delivering scents of apple, pear, hazelnuts, iodine, a quite complex, chalky soil signature, spring flowers and a lovely topnote of lime zest. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and complex, with excellent mid-palate depth, lovely focus and grip and a long, racy and exquisitely balanced finish. Fine, fine juice...

Gorgeous Meursault Tessons from Fichet. Floral, citrusy, great acidity and balance, wonderful now and will develop with 5 to 7 years in bottle, maybe more. A great chardonnay to enjoy or hold.

Snappy acidity. Needs time. Noticeable oak influence.
