Tasting notes
The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru has a very composed bouquet with pure brambly red fruit intermingling with briary, sous-bois and light rose petal scents, refined and very focused. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, taut and fresh with fine acidity. More linear on the finish compaed to the Les Beaux Monts and yet there is equal persistency on the aftertaste. Excellent.

A background dollop of wood easily allows the exotically spicy aromas of violet, lavender, black cherry, plum and hoisin to be appreciated. Once again, the medium-bodied flavors possess a gorgeous texture thanks to the abundant dry extract that also serves to buffer the firm tannic spine supporting the wonderfully persistent if serious, austere and well-balanced finale. This too is potentially terrific and a wine that, as is usually the case chez Grivot, is definitely going to require extended keeping. (92-95)/2035+
