The Camille Giroud 2006 Corton Les Chaumes displays high-toned aromatics and chalky mineral suggestions that are consistent with its location near the edge of En Charlemagne. Violet perfume and distilled black fruit and herb aromas persist as inner-mouth essences in a wine of seemingly sinewy construction and slight tannic abrasiveness. The question is whether its perfumed complexities will be enhanced with time and its tannins restrain themselves. I would plan on enjoying this over the next 3-4 years to be on the safe side. 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.)
