2023 Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots Domaine de l'Arlot
£475.00 In Bond £570.00 Inc VAT (£190.00 Per Bottle)-
Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2024
Nestled between the Grands Crus of Romanée St Vivant, Echézeaux and Richebourg, it is no surprise that Les Suchots is highly acclaimed. An aromatic and perfumed wine, the 2023 is redolent with scents of Morello cherry, blood orange, pomegranate and just a hint of mineral-laden smoke. With a plush, satisfying core of ripe berry fruit, the tannins here are broad and overt, yet do not overwhelm. A line of fresh acidity brings a vibrancy to the finish, which sings with fruit sweetness. More approachable in youth than the 2022, this is nonetheless a wine with great capacity to age.

Neal Martin, November 2024, Score: 92-94
The 2023 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru has a floral bouquet, with wilted rose petals infusing the vivacious red cherry/crushed strawberry fruit and just a touch of incense. Very poised, the palate is medium-bodied with smooth tannins. It is slightly ferrous toward the finish that lingers nicely. This is not a powerful Vosne-Romanée, but it will drink well for 12 to 15 years. Very fine.

Magnificent intensity of fruit – as if the essence of Alpine strawberries at their very, very sweetest. Sweet mint-and-tarragon fragrant herbs. Thrilling and mouth-watering. Clementines and blood orange and then a little swirl of smokiness. Stunning. Hard to spit. (TC)

A light garnet crimson. A little oak on the nose. Do I get enough extra in the bouquet, given the fame of the vineyard? Raspberry and alpine strawberry on the palate, this is a fine-boned, unobtrusive Suchots with considerable persistence. Understated but fine.
