2006 Chambertin, Grand Cru, Camille Giroud, Burgundy

Description

This magnificent young Chambertin Grand Cru won the Burgundy trophy at the 2008 Decanter World wine Awards. From its immensely heady, sensual bouquet right across the mouthfilling palate, this wine demonstrates great potential. Perhaps approachable from 2012 but ideally 2015-2030.

Critics reviews

David Schildknecht 89-90/100
From a combination of contract fruit and purchased wine, the Camille Giroud 2006 Chambertin is dominated by dark berries, black licorice, and roasted meats. Firmly tannic, and with a bit of roughness that may prove superficial, it displays obvious promise from tank, particularly in sheer palate persistence. But one would want to check this out again in 2010 or 2011 before rendering a verdict on longer-term aging.
David Schildknecht, (Dec 2009)
