This is a beautiful set of wines from Philippe and Yann Charlopin. The Charlopin wines sit on the richer, textured side of things in Burgundy. Because of that, I thought the 2012s might be very heavy, but instead they are actually beautifully balanced and harmonious. In particular, a number of the village wines are terrific. At the other end of the spectrum, the wines came across as a bit more reticent and not yet totally put together, which is not unusual in this vintage. Specifically, the Mazis and Bonnes-Mares were too akward to properly evaluate.
