RATINGS

95The Wine Advocate

... gamey, animal notes in the nose... accompanied by high-toned suggestions of mint; black fruit and decadently floral distillates; and a pungently spicy amalgam of clove, cinnamon, and black pepper.

93Stephen Tanzer

Reticent nose hints at pepper and spices. Plush, sappy and pure in the mouth, with terrific perfumed lift to its black raspberry and mineral flavors.

91-94Burghound.com

... aromas of ripe cassis, blueberry and bitter chocolate with a trace of roasted coffee that introduce stylish, pure and detailed flavors... refined tannins that confer a silky texture onto the explosively long finish.

17Jancis Robinson

Super-ripe, hint of chocolate and yeast extract but lots there. Over the top. Rather a caricature style. With aggressive acidity on the finish.

PRODUCER

Domaine Robert Arnoux

Domaine Robert Arnoux is a 35-acre estate in Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits that traces its roots to 1858. Its mid-to-late 20th century history was shaped by Robert Arnoux, who took over from his father in the 1950s and made improvements to the vineyards and cellar. Robert died in 1995 and today the estate is run by Robert’s daughter Florence and her husband, Pascal Lachaux. The domaine has Grand Cru vineyards in Vosne-Romanee, Clos de Vougeot and Romanee-St.-Vivant. It also has Premier Cru and villages parcels in Nuits-Saint-Georges and Chambolle-Musigny. Clive Coates has written that the wines made under Pascal Lachaux "have been excellent."

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.
