2016 Bourgogne Blanc
Buying options
Tasting notes
Produced largely from second-generation grapes, the 2016 Bourgogne Chardonnay is a nice wine in a challenging vintage, but it's an appreciable step behind other recent vintages. The wine offers up fragrant aromas of peach, citrus pith and struck match, followed by a bright, light to medium-bodied palate with moderate texture and tangy acids. Right now, it's a little angular, but I expect it to round out in bottle.

The only cuvée that’s bigger than usual in 2016 because these parcels didn’t suffer from frost. Supplemented by a little very hard-hit (frost) St-Aubin parcel. Bottled a week ago. Stony and uncompromising. Very much PYCM style. Not nearly ready. You might almost take this for a Chablis in structure. Extremely bracing. (JR)
