"The 2016 Chablis 1er Cru Les Roncières offers up attractive aromas of green apples, white flowers, lime zest and rock salt. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and pure, with good concentration, tangy acids and a bright, delineated finish. Piuze and I were discussing the limitations of the vintage, and he presented this Roncières as an example of 'a good 2016' — and I wasn't disappointed."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Produces steely, mineral Chardonnay from Kimmeridgian limestone in Burgundy's cool north, prized for precision, purity and saline drive.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
