Barthod's 2006 Chambolle-Musigny Les Chatelots – last tasted from a sample of barrels – leads with fresh red raspberry, wreathed in subtle, hard-to-identify floral perfume. Flatteringly refined in texture and generously juicy, it combines meat broth, chalk, and salt undertones for another truly lip-smacking performance, finishing with transparency and lift. Even a sample from new barrel was uniformly and lusciously fruit and mineral dominated, although Barthod indicated that this cru was late to digest its wood. This should be delightful over the next 4-6 years. Ghislaine Barthod's yields were low not only on account of hail (notably in Beaux Bruns and Charmes), she explained, but also on account of the relative paucity of juice in the berries. That said, as with so many of the best 2006s, Barthod's are generous and largely free of tannic severity. Importer: Rosenthal Wine Merchant, Pine Plains, NY; tel. (800) 910-1990
