Mike D's Article: Jean-Philippe Fichet Meursault Le Tesson 2002

Summer lovin’ y’all. Lazer-focused, oozing minerality, still straw in color and young tasting. Nice long smooth finish of wet slate with hints of apricot and camphor even. Feeling this. Paired with enchiladas filled with goodies from the garden and our local farmer’s market, this really is summer lovin’. The acidity and minerality of this effort compliment and slice through the spice of the food nicely. Should be GTG for still some time ahead of us. This guy gets it; he really lets all the notes of the terroir sing while focusing them into a most pleasant of symphonic drones. 94 points. Find the wine.
