Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru les Grands Suchots

France
Burgundy
2020

This vineyard is less than half a hectare in an exceptional spot, circled by Romanée-Saint-Vivant and the Richebourg to the south, and by the Echézeaux to the north. The average age of the vines on this vineyard is between 60 and 70 years old.

The wine is fermented 100% whole-cluster.

"The domaine's lowest-yielding cuvée in this vintage is the 2020 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Grands Suchots, cropped at a mere six hectoliters per hectare and delivering only two-and-a-half barrels; yet, like the Latricières-Chambertin, remarkably, it avoids any sense of exaggeration or excess. Wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis, dark berries and cherries mingled with vine smoke, rose petals and peonies, it's full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a layered, elegantly muscular profile and a long, resonant finish."
