These vines were planted in 1955, so are more than 60 years old. The plot lies downhill from the village, below the road to Beaune, on the slope beneath First Growth Les Caradeux. “Global warming is good for Les Fichots,” says Boudier, “as now we can have very good maturity of the grapes, while keeping a lot of freshness, thanks to deep soils, and no stress from lack of water.” Soils are rich in iron, with moisture-retaining clay content. Colour is mid-deep, ruby-purple, aromas are Pinot-rich, open and fine. Palate has excellent stuffing, with good middle-structure, fine length and gentle tannins (for drinking 2024-2030+).
