Fichet Meursault Blanc 2014 ANDERSON VALLEY aged entirely in used frenchA classic Meursault nose features notes of hazelnut, pear and acacia blossom. There is fine richness and vibrancy to the still well defined middle weight flavors that are presently on the tightly wound side but I suspect that this moderately complex effort will flesh out and thus be accessible after only a few years of bottle age. In sum, this is perfectly competent but not really distinguished.
