Vosne Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru

Wine information: Vosne Romanée is situated just to the north of Nuits-Saint-Georges. The two greatest Burgundy vineyards of Vosne and Flagey-Echezeaux, are entitled to use the Vosne-Romanée appellation. The A.C. of Vosne Romanée has an average vineyard size of 105 ha (13 in Flagey Echezeaux). There are 14 Premiers Crus and 7 Grands Crus. "Les Suchots" consists of two continuous parcels between Romanée St Vivant and Richebourg on the South side, and "Les Echezeaux" on the North side.

Tasting Notes: Louis Jadot Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots combines the richness of Le Richebourg with the delicacy of Romanée Saint Vivant. Concentrated and velvety, yet with a restrained elegance and refinement, it marries ripe fruit and tannins to notes of exotic spices and oak, with a subtle, perfumed bouquet and extended silky finish.

Food & Wine match: Louis Jadot Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots will be perfect with game, meats in sauce and strong cheeses.

Reviews: "At the time of my visit the 2009 Suchots was really showing well. The nose is deep, pure and nascently complex, as it offers up a properly reserved blend of cassis, black raspberry, espresso, game, woodsmoke, very complex soil tones and vanillin oak.On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, very pure and quite structured, with a rock solid core of fruit, superb length and grip and plenty of ripe, very suave tannins perking up the tangy finish. Suchots can often be a rather forward and flamboyant premier cru, and when it is reserved like the 2009 Jadot version, I always take this as a very, very positive sign for its future evolution. A superb premier cru in the making. 2020-2070." 93 Points, John Gilman, viewfromthecellar.com
