The 2016s at Clos Saint-Jean emphatically fruit-forward, and while Vincent Maurel sees valid comparisons to 2009 in the wines, he said that “they have more structure than the ‘09s but not too much” and thinks people will be able to enjoy them soon after release and “then not be under any pressure to drink them young, like with most hot years.” The Vieilles Vignes bottling here is a serious value, by the way, and in ’16 it comes tantalizingly close, quality-wise, to the Maurels’ limited-production luxe editions.
