The 2016 Arbois Chardonnay Clos de la Tour de Curon is as tight as it gets. Built on powerful acidity and a chalky texture, the initially flinty and compact 2016 expands on the palate, gaining richness and weight before narrowing in and finishing with impressive focus. Having entered its prime drinking window, the 2016 is a remarkably athletic Tour de Curon. (NG)
