Description
The terroir here is unique, as there is a high content of white limestone in the chalk and clay. The microclimate brings extra humidity and morning fog. Francis Fichet was one of the first to plant Pinot Noir in the highly Chardonnay dominant region. His original plantings are now over 30 years old and are blended with Pinot that Pierre-Yves planted in 1994 et 1995. Domaine Fichet today has 35 ha of vineyards, including 26 ha of Chardonnay.
On arrival the grapes are sorted and destemmed before a gentle pressing. After the must has settled fermentation takes place in stainless steel at low temperature. To add texture the wine is kept on its fine lies for 6 months.
