Tasting notes
A wide-ranging nose freely exhibits its array of soy, hoisin, star anise, sandalwood and blue pinot fruit aromas. The lavishly rich but focused full-bodied flavors possess excellent mid-palate concentration while displaying excellent power on the mouth coating, sappy and compact finish where the supporting tannins are firm to the point of inducing austerity while making it clear that this too is built for long-term aging. Most impressive. (92-95)/2034+

The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru has, as I anticipated given the Premier Cru in question, the most generous and opulent bouquet among Grivot’s range, featuring precocious, vivacious red cherries, blueberry, violet and orange sorbet aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins. A voluminous and extravagant Les Suchots delivering layers of sorbet-fresh black fruit on the persistent finish. There is a thrilling crescendo, a bravura about this Les Suchots.
