2022 Vosne Romanee Les Suchots
Buying options
Tasting Notes
These are Charles van Canneyt’s oldest vines, planted circa 1910, producing a wine of particular intensity. It feels deluxe, laden with generous, dark cherry fruit. It’s suave and textured, with a dense swathe of fruit that coats the palate. Pure and sweet, there’s a savoury, mineral twist before the fruit returns on the finish.

Once again the nose is wonderfully fresh and even spicier with its aromas of poached plum and liqueur-like dark pinot fruit that is also tinged with exotic tea wisps. There is noticeably better density to the caressing and seductively textured yet decided powerful flavors that brim with dry extract before concluding in a moderately austere and hugely long finale. This too is quite compact and very much built to repay extended keeping. Drink 2034+
A distinguished crimson purple. The oak is a little more apparent, and the fruit a riper, fleshier raspberry. Oak continues to take a hand but the fruit stays with it. Lower acidity in the Suchots, at least by taste.
The 2022 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots is one of the highlights of the range this year. Wafting from the glass with aromas of plums, cassis, orange zest and exotic spices and framed by a deft application of new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, concentrated and multidimensional, with terrific depth, velvety tannins and a long, broad finish.
