Fichet Château London Mâcon-Igé 2018
Mâconnais, Burgundy, FranceThis cuvée from the impressive Domaine Fichet is the top tier of Régional Mâcon, awarded the geographical designation of the village Igé. The Fichet family has been present in the village of Igé since the 15th century, with Francis Fichet beginning the winery in 1976. His two sons, Pierre and Olivier, joined the business in the 1990s, growing the sustainably farmed estate to 36 hectares today. The Château London climat is southwest facing, on clay-limestone soils. This was native fermented in vats (10% in oak) where it remained for 10 months on lees with very little bâtonnage. Very pure and linear with lemon, downy cream, fresh hazelnuts running the gently expansive (thanks 2018 vintage), lees-lined palate, finishing with a raft of river stones on the finish. A classic Mácon blanc for drinking now.Tasted: 30 October 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:Eric and Catherine Giroud Mâcon-Uchizy Vieilles Vignes 2018Pierre-Louis and Jean-François Bersan Cuvée Marianne Bourgogne Côtes d'Auxerre 2018
