Tasting notes
The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru has an ultra-ripe nose with Kirsch and eau-de-vie scents. For me, this was picked a day or two late, consequently resulting in an excessively candied style. The palate is medium-bodied, with grippy tannins and a thick lacquer of new oak that occludes terroir expression and precludes finesse. This is a solid Vosne-Romanée, but I feel it is a bit too extracted. Just not good enough. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru has a gorgeous bouquet with perfumed black cherry and blueberry fruit, wilted iris petals and just a faint of lavender scent. The palate is rounded on the entry with juicy ripe red fruit laced with clove and white peppers, quite savory towards the finish that just lacks the sophistication of other Les Suchots that I tasted. Not a bad Vosne-Romanée by any means, but it needs more finesse in the final quarter.
