In concentrated, ripe yet bright 2016, Argonne shines. Newcomers to this wine may be surprised to learn of the 100% new barrel fermentation, but the effect is one of heady aromaticism rather than overt oakiness. Baked pineapple, apricot tart, mango and milk chocolate aromas promise decadence, the palate almost thick with concentration of fruit for Champagne yet staying silky, gentle in mousse and free of any toughness or extraction. There are lashings of buttery croissant dough and roasted spice with a bit of time in the glass, but the core energy of great Aÿ Pinot Noir keeps a driving, refreshing intensity, too.
