Piron & Lameloise, Chénas (Beaujolais, France) 2016

 The Lameloise family, whose name is synonymous with fine dining because of their Michelin 3-star restaurant in nearby Chagny, owns the vineyard in Chénas, the smallest of the 10 crus of Beaujolais, while Dominique Piron makes the wines.  Floral and elegant, it’s a graceful wine that dances on the palate.  Its charming juiciness reminds you it’s Beaujolais, but it has the Burgundian sensibility of flavor without weight.  Beautiful now.
