Technical sheet written by the domaine


THE VINTAGE: After a mild and rainy winter, the spring warmth encourages an early resumption of the vegetative cycle. In April, temperatures hover around seasonal norms, but the last decade is particularly cool. Flowering slowly begins around June 10. Despite cool and humid conditions causing some cluster losses, the remaining clusters are well-aerated, a major advantage in limiting the risk of disease spread due to better air circulation. Temperature variations continue until harvest. The warm and relatively dry weather that settles in August improves the situation and provides good conditions for veraison and maturation.

THE HARVEST:  The optimal start date for the harvest was determined at the last moment. A compromise had to be made between the ripeness that was delayed in certain plots and the health status that could deteriorate with the forecasted weather.
Harvesting began on September 18 under pleasant weather and concluded on September 21.

VINIFICATION:
- 100% destemming,
- Spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks for 20 days with indigenous yeasts and daily pump-overs.


The Style of the Wine: Finesse and richness, complexity and harmony, everything comes together to define the accomplishment of this exceptional wine. A firm hand in a velvet glove, it describes the fullness of Pinot Noir with remarkable distinction, showcasing a nervous energy before resonating with richness and elegance. Its aromas undulate with the rhythm of its age. Young, the wine offers floral notes combined with raspberry, morello cherry, and blackcurrant. With time, the aromas evolve and glide towards spices, licorice, underbrush, and leather.

TERROIR:
Between Romanée Saint-Vivant, Echezeaux, and Richebourg... The vineyard neighbors some of the greatest wines in the world. According to some tasters, Les Suchots clearly ranks among the best 1er Crus of Vosne Romanée.

TASTING:
The nose, charming, opens with pure aromas of red fruits, subtly mingled with notes of crushed violet and iris flower, highlighted by an elegant touch of white pepper. The palate, supple and harmonious, delights with its silky tannins and a texture that is both deep and delicately creamy. The finish is long and airy.

Not to mention game, such as a fillet of deer. These suggestions are offered as a guide, a springboard for your gustatory imagination.
