Charlopin has two barrels worth of 2006 Chambertin, a wine that comes as a shock after his other, hyphenated Chambertins, since there is a sinewy, slightly tough thread of tannin running throughout. But if one does not mind doing some chewing, this is dense-packed with black fruit essences, rich red meat flavors, and bitter-edged chocolate. Low-toned and muscular, it throws something of a rolling block of a finish that is also unexpected for the vintage. I would plan to revisit it around 2011 to get a better picture of its longer-run potential, and indeed I don't rule out its having had better days immediately before bottling than the one on which I caught it.
