RATINGS

91Stephen Tanzer

Fuller dark red. Explosive aromas of raspberry, black plum, dark chocolate and game; fresh despite its aspect of torrefaction. Silky-sweet and fat, with lovely depth of flavor and good vinosity. Structure thoroughly covered by flesh...

90Wine Spectator

Beautifully crafted. Clean and pure, thick and rich, a full-bodied '97 red Burgundy that tastes sweet, harmonious, supple and velvety, but turns on the fireworks on the intense finish...

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanee, Les Suchots

Les Suchots is a 33-acre Premier Cru in Vosne-Romanee, in Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. The vineyard is at the same elevation as Romanee-Saint-Vivant. Its neighbors are Romanee-Saint-Vivant and Richebourg on the south and Les Echezeaux to the north.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
