Tasting Notes

93-95
Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 09 Jan 20
The 2018 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots is showing brilliantly this year, wafting from the glass with a deep-pitched bouquet of cassis, blackberries, spices and dark chocolate. On the palate, it's full-bodied, rich and enveloping, its textural attack segueing into a deep and layered core, concluding with a long and penetrating finish.

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 20
The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru was more backward than the Les Beaumonts and demanded more coaxing to offer raspberry, wild strawberry, sous-bois, touches of morels and light sage aromas, gradually unfolding from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, quite strict and maybe a little rustic for a Les Suchots, but with fine grip and spiciness toward the finish. This will require 4–5 years to fully meld.

Jancis Robinson Julia Harding - 13 Jan 20
Seductively ripe but fresh red fruits all entangled with oak sweetness. Ripe and chewy on the palate. Deep and mouth-filling rather than elegant but all in balance. (JH)
