The Meursault Tesson 2016 is a beautifully chiselled and mineral expression from a classic, balanced vintage. Aromas of lemon zest, white peach, pear skin, and crushed stone emerge with clarity, accented by subtle notes of almond and white flowers. On the palate, the wine is taut yet textural, driven by vibrant acidity and a pronounced stony core that gives vertical lift. Flavors of citrus oil, orchard fruit, and chalk unfold with precision and restraint. A discreet creaminess adds depth without softening the wine’s linear profile. The finish is long, saline, and finely etched—an elegant, age-worthy Meursault that captures Fichet’s signature purity and terroir focus.

Domaine Jean-Philippe Fichet is one of Meursault’s most precise and terroir-focused estates, admired for its restrained, mineral-driven style and uncompromising attention to vineyard detail. Fichet farms old vines with meticulous care, emphasizing low yields, soil health, and exact harvest timing to preserve natural balance. In the cellar, the approach is deliberately minimalist: gentle pressing, native fermentations, and very limited oak, allowing site expression to dominate. Fichet’s wines are defined by tension, clarity, and quiet depth rather than overt richness. The domaine has become a reference for Meursault interpreted with discipline and finesse. Tesson is one of the estate’s most distinctive lieux-dits, known for its stony soils and structural precision.
