The 2010 Clos St. Denis is all about power, weight and intensity. This is a big, virile Burgundy bursting with character and sheer personality. Violets, tar, tobacco and licorice are some of the nuances that wrap around the finish. Firm tannins and an intense, brooding leaning suggest the Clos St. Denis will require considerable patience. The Clos St. Denis emerges from a parcel on the Chambolle side of the vineyard. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030. Vintage 2010 is very strong across the board Chez Charlopin. I found much to like in these beautiful, articulate wines. Like many of his colleagues who favor a bold, fruit-driven style, Charlopin benefited from a long, cold growing season that helped balance some of the overt notes that are typically present in his wines. The 2010 harvest began on September 25 and finished on October 14. All of the wines were made with 100% destemmed fruit and aged in 100% new oak barrels. Some of the wines were slightly chaptalized, which was common in 2010. Only the Bourgogne Franc de Pied was too reduced to evaluate. Importer: Peter Weygandt, Unionville, PA; tel. (610) 486-0800
