Domaine Fichet - Mâcon-Burgy Les Verchères 2013
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
"A regular on the Guide's 'Favorites' list, Domaine Fichet does it again with this cuvée, which dances joyfully with its lovely light color. The complex nose evokes, in turn, pineapple, lychee, lemon, and white flowers. Flattering, it develops an equally exotic charm on the palate—full-bodied, rich, and very harmonious—highlighted by perfectly balanced freshness.” (La Guide Hachette des Vins 2017)

About the wine:
A regular favorite in the Guide—the Fichet-Igé La Cra Cuvée Prestige 2013, to name just the most recent example—the estate does it again with this cuvée, which dances joyfully with a lovely light color. The complex nose evokes, in turn, pineapple, lychee, lemon, and white flowers. Flattering, it develops an equally exotic charm on the palate—full-bodied, rich, and very harmonious—highlighted by perfectly balanced freshness.
About the estate:
This estate was established by Francis Fichet in 1976, breaking away from the Igé cooperative winery. His sons, Pierre-Yves and Olivier, who have been at the helm since 1999, now cultivate 35 hectares of vineyards, from which they produce about fifteen different wines made from the four Burgundy grape varieties. A reliable choice from the Mâconnais region, complemented in 2006 by a small wine trading operation.
