Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots was showing a little volatility on the nose that tended to mask the terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin, a fruit-forward Vosne-Romanée, gutsy and bold, a wine of substance if not finesse at the moment. I mentioned that it was "foursquare" in barrel and it still conveys that in bottle. Give it 4-6 years in bottle. Tasted September 2016.
