Aged 10 to 12 months ageing in oak barrels, 40% new, 2015 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru ‘Suchots’ has a dark and intense colour and a pretty bouquet of blackcurrants and blackberries. In the mouth, grilled notes are accompanied by a touch of licorice. It is a powerful and fat wine, with a wonderful persistence.
Aromas of blueberries, dark chocolate and flowers follow through to a full body, firm and silky tannins and a savory finish. Lots of shaved chocolate. Ripe tannins. Needs four or five years to soften.
