Vosne-Romanée, Les Suchots, 1er Cru, 2023
The finest fresh framboise confiture signals the arrival of Suchots in the glass, an open-knit, boisterous nose of delectable red fruits with a sweet charm to them. Flowers arrive with air. Structurally this is as smooth and supple as they get, with an inner luminosity giving freshness. Pretty irresistible. A top-flight premier cru where the clay-dominant soils give typically smooth, voluptuous Vosne-Romanées.
critic reviews
The 2023 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru has a lifted, perfumed, quite floral bouquet that is more flirtatious than the Les Beaux Monts. The red berry fruit comes out and hugs the senses. Its palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit and fine acidity, conveying a sense of symmetry. It's not a powerful Les Suchots and it just tapers in a little toward the finish. This is very controlled and perhaps more linear than presupposed. This should be intriguing to observe maturing in bottle.
