About Dom. Fichet
Domaine Fichet is located in the small village of Igé, in the hamlet of Martoret (south of Burgundy), and covers 19 hectares. The brothers Pierre-Yves and Olivier Fichet come from a family of winegrowers who used to sell their wines to cooperatives. After the crisis of the 1970s, they left the cooperative and have since sold their wines directly on the market. Pierre-Yves is responsible for the vineyard, where he cultivates healthy and ripe grapes in a traditional and meticulous manner. Olivier oversees the vinification process. On the southeast-facing plots with clay and limestone soils, the two main red grape varieties are grown: Pinot Noir and Gamay. On the southwest-facing plots, which receive more sunshine, the white Chardonnay grape is cultivated on a limestone and chalky subsoil. The Fichet brothers were twice named the best young winegrowers of Burgundy.
