2006 Chapelle Chambertin

The most evolved wine in this vertical tasting, Tremblay comments that "this is the one vintage I wouldn't like to make again," observing that the fruit, impacted by hail, combined low acidity with derisory yields. Offering up aromas of dried fruits and preserved plums, the 2006 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru is medium to full-bodied, firm and rather assertively structural. While some bottles may well have evolved better than this example, it's clearly the weakest vintage in the series.
