Vosne Romanée 1er cru Les Suchots
Les Suchots displays purity, complexity and finesse, everything comes together to designate the accomplishment of the great wine that we must wait for...
An iron fist, a velvet glove, it describes the fullness of Pinot Noir with a crazy distinction, making a stallion's nervousness speak before making its richness and elegance resound. Its aromas undulate with the rhythm of its age. When young, the wine offers floral notes associated with raspberry, morello cherry and blackcurrant. With time, the aromas evolve towards spices, liquorice, undergrowth and leather.
The Terroir:
Between Romanée Saint-Vivant, Echezeaux and Richebourg... The vineyard is next to some of the world's greatest wines. According to some tasters, Les Suchots are clearly among the best of the Vosne Romanée 1er Crus.
- An exceptional village: incredible terroirs, the commune of Vosne Romanée produces some of the greatest red wines in Burgundy. Romanée-Conti, Richebourg, Romanée, Romanée Saint-Vivant, La Tâche, Echezeaux, Grands Echezeaux... So many names that echo the greatness of Pinot Noir with wines of extreme elegance.
- The fullness of Pinot Noir: you have to wait for Les Suchots, time gives it a patina and an exceptional touch. The fleeting impression of austerity of youth fades, the tannins soften, the wine becomes rounder... The maturity draws its sensuality and its race.
- No pumps: for the vinification of its wines, the Domaine de l'Arlot has retained the principle of gravity. From the arrival of the grapes to the pouring of the wine into the barrels, the circuit obeys the laws of gravity alone. By avoiding the use of pumps, this choice preserves the deep nature of the grapes and musts. The fruitiness of the wine becomes more ardent and tauter.
Food and winepairing:
A fillet of beef served with a slice of grilled foie gras will deliver the pleasure of this conquering red. One can also think of a seven-hour leg of lamb or a veal shank cooked for a long time in the oven. And don't forget game, a fillet of venison, for example.
These suggestions are offered as a guide, as a springboard for your gustatory imagination.
