Domaine de l'Arlot Vosne Romanée 1er Cru "Les Suchots" red 2012

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Neil Martin - oct. 2015) :93/100. Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots from Domaine de l'Arlot has a stemminess on the nose that is carried nicely by the mixture of red and black fruit. There is a lot of charm and personality here. The palate is medium-bodied with a supple and smooth texture, the acidity well judged and the oak lending structure on the finish without impeding the terroir expression. This is a well crafted Vosne-Romanée courtesy of winemaker Jacques Devauges, of course, since moved up the road to Clos de Tart. Drink date 2017-2032.bad weather throughout the summer. Yields were down 30-40% across the board. The wines, however, are stunning, and I urge readers to check them out. Drink date 2020-2030.
