Domaine Jean Grivot
Vosne Romanée, Les Suchots, 1er Cru, 2020
justerini & brooks tasting note
The chunkier of Grivot's Vosne Premiers Crus, but enticingly voluptuous and velvety nonetheless. Seductive, fleshy bramble and black cherry. Corpulent and smooth; almost Clos de Vougeot in scale and power. A top-flight Premier Cru where the clay-dominated soils give typically smooth voluptuous Vosne Romanees.

94-96/100Neal Martin,Vinous
The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru has a very composed bouquet with pure brambly red fruit intermingling with briary, sous-bois and light rose petal scents, refined and very focused. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, taut and fresh with fine acidity. More linear on the finish compaed to the Les Beaux Monts and yet there is equal persistency on the aftertaste. Excellent.
