Vosne Romaneé Suchots, Jean-Marc Millot 2017

Reduction and wood dominate the fruit. Otherwise, there is good freshness and a finer mouthfeel to the overtly powerful, indeed even muscular, and energetic large-scaled flavors that culminate in a dusty, austere and long finish. This is a firm and very serious 'take no prisoners' Suchots and patience is absolutely required. Note: from a .29 ha parcel

Barrel sample. 30% new oak. 70-year-old vines. Unfined and unfiltered.Lightish crimson. Scented with red fruit, light on its feet but with plenty of fruit depth. Supple tannins but still rather embryonic. Needs time.
