M. Roch says he has never been impressed with his parcel of Suchots and, having had several older vintages of it, I must concur. The 99 is quite deeply colored with rich spicy fruit, round, ripe, loosely knit flavors with interesting mineral-inflected notes. Classy but lacks sufficient mid-palate density to really be convincing. Drink: 2005-2006.
The vineyards of the modest village of Vosne Romanée are arguably the most sought after in the Côte d'Or. It is host to excellent Village and Premier Cru wines, but it is its most famous Grand Crusthat truly stand out: Romanée-Conti, La Tâche, Richebourg, Grands Echézeaux, Echézeaux, Romanée St. Vivant and La Romanée as well as Cros Parentoux, a Premier Cru vineyard which attracts Grand Cru attention (and prices). Vosne-Romanée can be remarkably robust and powerful, yet be charming and fleshy giving it one of the most diverse styles of the region.
