Tasting notes
The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru has a generous, ebullient bouquet of dark cherries, violets and iodine aromas that possess real intensity. The palate is well balanced with a creamy texture, the red cherries and strawberry infused with vanilla and orange pith notes, leading to a sweet, candied finish that is very seductive. I wonder how long-term this will be.

Aromas of raspberries, berries, spices and creamy new oak introduce the 2018 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots (Maison Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, broad and supple wine that's fleshy but nicely defined, concluding with a lively finish. This, too, should offer a broad drinking window.
Fermented in large vats before maturation for 15 months in oak barrels. Fleshy red fruits, rose and vanilla-pod on the nose. Lightly caramelised strawberries and red cherries on the palate. Supple tannins and savoury spices. (TP)
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
