From the Tres Girard and Clos Solon just east of town, Charlopin's 2006 Morey-St.-Denis mingles vanilla and coconut with cherry preserves and bitter suggestions of herbal concentrate in an awkwardly sweet-sour bifurcation. Otherwise, this is another formidably concentrated example of the house style, and might well show greater knittedness with 2-3 years in bottle, but because of its underlying softness I have my doubts about its being worth following for more than 4-5 years. Philippe Charlopin is known for his outgoing personality, which applies also to the wines of his domaine spread over more than two dozen appellations, an astonishing nine of which are grand crus. Elevage is long here, and when I last tasted his 2006s with Charlopin in Spring 2008, none had yet been bottled.Various importers, including The Country Vintner, Ashland, VA 23005; tel.
