Winemaker Clement Bartschi told me that “while the 2016 white wines don’t have the depth and power of 2015,” it’s a vintage to be reckoned with in the cellaring sweepstakes. “If you look at the older vintages that have aged well it’s not always the ripest years that go a long time,” he pointed out. I’ve been pleased to see the white wines here, especially the high-end single-site bottlings, take a turn to greater finesse over the last decade. That’s not to say that they have become restrained . . . they haven’t. But they are far more elegant and, to my taste, better balanced than those from the late 1990s and early 2000s, when they were some of the most flamboyant white wines made in France.
