Camille Giroud's 2006 Chapelle-Chambertin Champs (from purchased juice) boasts scents of blackberry, mulberry, and licorice with a whiff of smoke. Ample and firm but relatively fine tannins and suggestions of wet stone underlie its black fruits on a dense palate. This exhibits impressive if somewhat somber length, suggesting a wine that will probably be worth following for half a dozen years. David Croix racked his 2006s into tank earlier than normal in an attempt to preserve the maximum of fruit. (For details about the recent revival of Camille Giroud and about David Croix's approach, readers are referred to reports in issues 160 and 170 respectively. A Gevrey-Chambertin En Champs was too reduced from tank when I last tasted it to adequately access, but it definitely displayed potential and reflected its old vines of a tiny-berried selection; while a Clos Vougeot from purchased fruit was stuck in protracted malo.)
