ROBERT PARKER ” 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. Philippe Charlopin is known for his outgoing personality, which applies also to the wines of his domaine spread over more than two dozen appellations, an astonishing nine of which are grand crus. Elevage is long here, and when I last tasted his 2006s with Charlopin in Spring 2008, none had yet been bottled. “
