The Magical New 2016 Faiveley Arrivals
Blink and you’ll miss the 2016 Burgundy vintage.  Part of that is because of yields—down massively across the region because of frost and hail.  The other reason is that the wines are epic—more classical than 2015 and superior in the minds of many big collectors and insiders. These are stunning wines, with concentration and blazingly distinct terroir signatures.

The Wine Advocate Weighs in

On 2016 and ’17 Burgundy

On 2016 Red Burgundy:

“While small quantities meant that 2016s were not always available for tasting, I’m pleased to report that the wines are showing very well indeed from bottle. This is a classic Burgundy vintage in the best sense, with bright acids, concentrated fruit and excellent terroir differentiation. The successful whites have tightened up and now evoke a hypothetical blend of 2012 and 2008 in character.

Newly Arrived:

William Fevre’s Grand Chablis

The Domaine William Fevre was born of a force of will in 1959, when William declared his first vintage; this, in a region where winemaking families stretch for centuries, not just decades. The purchase of land seemed to be first and foremost in their mission, acquiring a whopping 78 hectares over 90 separate parcels. The access to this much fruit, in one of the priciest AOC in France, gives Fevre a leg up in making some of the most iconic Chablis available today.
