The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru is 100% whole cluster fruit raised in 50% new oak (two barrels produced). It has a generous bouquet of cranberry, wild strawberry and hints of Seville orange marmalade, a vein of crushed stone tucked underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, firm grip and good structure, the whole bunches influence lending edginess and earthiness toward the finish. It will require three to five years in bottle, but has good potential. 2022 - 2040
A wonderfully broad-ranging nose reflects plenty of floral influences along with a lovely array of spice elements on the dark berry and Asian-style tea scented nose. The cool, pure and relatively dense medium-bodied flavors coat the palate with sap while displaying very good depth and persistence on the ever-so-slightly warm finish. Even so, this is really quite good and should age effortlessly. Note: 100% whole cluster
