The 2016 Margaux appellation is not quite at the same level as the other worldly 2015, but for many chateaux, it is quite close. The wines are elegant, stylish and everything you want from a Margaux wine.
2016 St. Julien is close to the pinnacle for this appellation. The wines are full bodied, rich, seductive and powerful, yet, refined, elegant and even sexy. The level of quality is great from top to bottom here, this year!
If you’re a fan of St. Estephe, 2016 Bordeaux wines are going to knock you out! From top to bottom, these are great wines, with true, character, style, vibrance and the ability to age, and at all price points!
One of the key benefits to 2016 Bordeaux wines is how many vineyards produced great wine, especially in the Left Bank. Haut Medoc and Medoc are large appellations, with varied terroir, but with care, you can find some great wines for fair prices!
2016 Bordeaux is the best overall vintage since 2010. But that’s not the whole story. The best wines are made in an undeniably, great style. But there’s a lot more to the story this year.
2016 Bordeaux appears to the third vintage in a row, (and perhaps the best of the 3) to capture people’s attention. If you are planning to come to Bordeaux to taste the new, vintage, you can find what you need to know here.
2016 Bordeaux got off to a slow start, with too much rain. But things changed once the summer came around, producing an outstanding vintage in both, the Left Bank and for the Right Bank as well!
