🏰 Joseph Roty's Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru 2006, crafted from nearly 130-year-old vines, is an 【implosively concentrated wine with liqueur-like fruit】. The 2006 Burgundy vintage was tricky, but September's good weather saved the day, leading to potentially very good reds from the Côte de Nuits. This wine offers bright, intensely penetrating ripe cherry notes, shadowed by high-toned maraschino, almond extract, and floral/herbal distillates, supported by formidable tannins and a polished finish. 🍴 This powerful Grand Cru Burgundy is ideal with rich game dishes like venison or wild boar, roasted beef, or complex mushroom-based preparations. 🥂 A formidable wine for serious collectors, this requires further cellaring to fully reveal its personality, or significant decanting if enjoyed now.
