Hachette

“Gilded with fine gold, this wine’s color is edged with green highlights. The nose reveals subtle woody notes against a fruity and floral backdrop: vine peach, lemon, rose, and orange blossom. Lively on the palate from the start, it is nicely oaked, delicately fruity, and delightfully long. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019)

About the wine:

Gilded with fine gold, this wine’s color is edged with green highlights. The nose reveals subtle woody notes against a fruity and floral backdrop: vine peach, lemon, rose, and orange blossom. Lively on the palate from the first sip, it is nicely oaked, delicately fruity, and delightfully long-finishing.

About the estate:

This estate was spun off from the Igé cooperative winery by Francis Fichet in 1976. 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 trusted name in the Mâconnais region, the estate expanded in 2006 with the addition of a small wine trading operation.

Review and comment by Mr. JEAN PIERRE M. Posted on April 23, 2019

Very Burgundian on the nose and palate, with noticeable oak that isn't overpowering. I'll place another order when the 2008 is available.
