Discover the 2016 Vintage

The 2016 vintage is renowned for its exceptional quality and remarkable balance across many French wine regions. This vintage benefited from ideal climatic conditions that allowed the grapes to develop optimally, resulting in expressive, concentrated, and elegant wines. The unique terroir combined with the winemakers' expertise brought out the full aromatic richness of this vintage.

Terroir and Characteristics

In 2016, the harvest took place under mild and dry weather, favoring a slow and even ripening of the grapes. This context enabled wines to exhibit a beautiful concentration of aromas, natural acidity, and well-integrated tannins. Whether on clay, limestone, or granite soils, the 2016 vintage perfectly expresses the characteristics of its soil and grape variety.

Wine Profile

2016 wines stand out for their balance between power and finesse. The red wines often show a deep color, intense fruity aromas, and significant aging potential. The whites display fresh acidity, balanced structure, and a rich aromatic palette with floral and mineral notes.

Food Pairings

Wines from the 2016 vintage pair beautifully with refined dishes such as duck breast, grilled beef filet, aged Comté cheese, or noble fish like roasted sea bass. Their finesse and complexity subtly enhance the flavors of these dishes.
