From vines in two parcels of the original Charmes said to be nearly 130 years old, the Roty 2006 Charmes-Chambertin Tres Vieilles Vignes offers bright, intensely penetrating ripe cherry shadowed in the nose by high-toned maraschino, almond extract, and Chartreuse-like floral and herbal distillate. Implosively concentrated, liqueur-like in fruit, and with formidable tannins, it finishes expansively and with a greater sense of textural polish than was evident in its initial assault on the palate. This needs time even to give one a clear idea of its personality, but almost certainly it is going to be a formidable and generous one. I would plan on re-visiting this in 3-4 years – were I, that is, lucky and wealthy enough to have some in my cellar. And try not to look back at the 2005 in comparison, as that sets an almost impossible standard even for these ancient vines and Roty's talent! Philippe Roty is among the many growers to assert that under-ripe fruit rather than rot was what really drove his 2006 selection process. "But, hail or no hail, I do a strict triage regardless; and besides" he notes with a laugh, "it hails every year in at least one part of Marsannay." He picked in a relative hurry the last week of September, because "as far as I'm concerned, above 13% potential alcohol you have surmaturite, and that's not good." Besides, like the Mugneret sisters and a considerable number of other top-notch growers, Roty favors routinely – if only slightly – chaptalizing his entire range to promote longer and, he believes, flavor- and texture-enhancing fermentation. (While I have mentioned in the text of my tasting notes those wines that are part of the personal domaine of Philippe Roty and bottled under his name, I have not reflected this in the naming of the wines, as the same label is used for those as for the Domaine Joseph Roty wines and they are all vinified and aged together by the same team.)

Medium red. Subdued aromas of musky plum, mocha and bonbon au reglisse; missing the enticing high-pitched floral notes of the 2008. Then surprisingly sweet in the mouth, with flavors of cherry, red berries, rose petal, tobacco, licorice and menthol complicated by a whiff of chocolate and an element of salinity. The wine's slightly dusty tannins make themselves felt early but are nonetheless quite mellow. Incidentally, Pierre-Jean Roty volunteered that 2006 and 2008 were among the vintages of the 2000s with the least extractability, and that the wines therefore--in theory at least--have a tendency to be austere or hard. His father also vinified this wine with cultured yeasts and perhaps for that reason Pierre-Jean describes 2006 as a technical vintage. (13.7% alcohol; 3.39 pH; 38 h/h)
