Critics reviews

Neal Martin MW 91/100
The 2011 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru clearly sports more fruit on the nose than its peers: blackberry and raspberry coulis, tobacco and undergrowth scents sent to the sidelines. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, ripe tannin. There is satisfying fruit intensity here, the richness countered by its intrinsic salinity that drives the finish home whilst maintaining good delineation. It is not an overtly complex Suchots, but it does give a lot of pleasure. Drink 2018 - 2032 Neil Martin, Vinous.com (February 2018)

An exuberantly spicy nose features additional aromas of black cherry, plum and sandalwood. There is a velvety and highly seductive character to the wonderfully rich and generous middle weight flavors that also brim with palate coating dry extract before culminating in a seriously long anise-infused finish.

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
