2019 Vosne-Romanée, Les Suchots, 1er Cru, Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot, Burgundy

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.

Confuron-Cotetidot is a renowned Burgundian wine producer based in the Côte de Nuits region of Burgundy, France. The estate is known for producing high-quality wines from some of the most prestigious vineyard sites in the area.
