About Dom. Fichet
Domain Fichet is located in a small village of Igé in the hamlet of Martoret (south of Burgundy) and is 19 hectares. The brothers Pierre-Yves and Olivier Fichet are descended from a family of winemakers who sold their wines to cooperatives. After the crisis in the 70s, they left the cooperative and since then have been selling their wines directly on the market. Pierre-Yves is responsible for the vineyard where he grows healthy and ripe grapes in a traditional and meticulous way. Olivier takes on the vinification process.
On the Southeast oriented plots on the clay and chalky soil the 2 main red grape varieties are grown, namely Pinot Noir and Gamay. On the Southwest-oriented plots that enjoy more sunshine, the white Chardonnay grape is grown on a chalk-rich and chalky surface. The Fichet brothers have twice been named best young winegrowers in Burgundy.
