Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Suchots 2011 is more reserved on the nose than their Chaumées, but there is a touch more complexity, the brambly red and black fruit infused with fine minerality and tension. The palate is smooth and rounded on the entry with a lot of extraction so that it feels plump around the middle. Juicy and pure, what it lacks in complexity is compensated by its saturated tannins and opulent blueberry-tinged finish that is just missing some persistence, cutting away before you have had an opportunity to show your gratitude.

Pale ruby. Strange seaweed nose. Very firm and structured with real Côte de Nuits substance. A tad chewy. Wait! (JR)
An attractively spicy, elegant and admirably pure nose of fresh red pinot fruit, blue berry and a bit of oak gives way to beautifully textured middle weight flavors that also terminate in a finish that displays a mild dryness though here it's less pronounced. I suspect that it is again the abundant gas. Tasted: Jan 14, 2013. Drink: 2018+
