I finally had the chance to see Michel Chapoutier on his home turf this year, but it was literally as I was walking to my car since he had just arrived in Tain from his annual November trip to the Far East. I tasted again with Pierre-Henri Morel, Chapoutier's commercial and export director, who told me that the house was happy that the 2006 whites were so vibrant and forward. "The 2005s need some time," he said, "but should ultimately be more serious." Chapoutier's 2006 reds are notable for their remarkably fragrant bouquets, which are in stark contrast to the more serious, brooding 2005s. "They will be great for people who don't want to defer gratification, but don't be fooled into thinking that they won't last, as they have excellent freshness and balance," Morel said.
