The 2013 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots is seamless in the glass, with no beginning, no end and fabulous balance. All the elements meld together in an impeccable Burgundy of true pedigree. Voluptuous and silky on the palate, yet with fabulous underlying energy, the 2013 has it all. Blood orange, mint and bold red stone fruits punctuate the exotic, alluring finish.

The 2013 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru les Suchots, which sees 100% new oak (reduced to two-thirds next year), has an intense, candied bouquet whereby the strawberry coulis and kirsch scents permeate through that carapace of new wood. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, quite racy acidity and superb mineralité on the focused finish. It will require several years to absorb the new wood, but it will be worth the wait. It is a brilliant follow-up to the 2012.
