The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru, en magnum, has a clean and precise bouquet, tightly-wound at first, perhaps lean to those accustomed to more fruit driven Burgundy of late. Yet there is real tension here. The palate is medium-bodied and pliant on the entry with pointed acidity. There's a slight tapering towards the finish that you don't usually find with this climat. It is actually meliorated in the glass, so don't be afraid to decant. Tasted at Stannery Wines' producer tasting in London. (Neal Martin, Vinous, June 2024)

The last bottle of my 2012 Vosne Romanée from Alain Hudelot Noëllat and its a wonderful show that it manage to put up. Like a grand dame in its golden years bit with a hell of a spirit its displaying evolving characters of dried strawberries, rose petals, blood orange and menthol that is backed up by a prominent choir of nutmeg, clove, truffles, wet stones and forrest floor. Fresh palate with very present but smooth tannins, an expansive palate as the encore slowly fades out in a very respectful and balanced finish.
Day 2 tasting and its pumped up, more nuanced, defined and dresses up to its teeth in elegance. The last bottle of six will leave its mark for sure. Divine! — 4 years ago

No specific notes but a very elegant, spicy and floral burg done by one of the finest we know. Really good bottle and recommended. Might be a notch or two better with another 5 to 6 years of cellar time. — 5 months ago

9.3

1998 vintage. Above age-appropriate fill. Great cork. Quite a bit of sed-some chunky, some powdery. Decanted and tasted after 15 minutes, 45 minutes and 1.5 hours. Respectable color. Still medium body. Nose a mix of thin, muddy, clay earth, morels and rhubarb. Flavors all that plus some muddled raspberry and a splash of black tea. Initially, a bit shy (9.1). Started to pick up steam at the second, 45 mins open taste. By 1.5 hrs, it was rolling. Could have used another hour in the decanter (as it may have yielded a 9.4) but the grabbing hands grab all they can. It's a competitive world. Can see this going another 7-8 years without noticeable, downward change but it wouldn't surprise me to find that extended to 10-12 years. 3.20.24. — 9 months ago

Face à face contre la RSV de Hudelot-Noellat. À l’ouverture le nez est plus expressif que la RSV. Dès le service on remarque que la robe est nettement plus foncée. On y dénote la cerise et les fruits noirs. En bouche, une belle présence et une bonne présence. Un vin encore assez musclé.... on n’est pas dans la dentelle. Belle longueur — 4 years ago

Wine of the night among heavy competition, still in plenty of life but elevated by some truffle dishes. — 5 months ago

Deep ruby red. Plum, raspberry and blueberry. Spices. Balanced one. More concentrated than the previous vintage.

Once being an important négociant in Burgundy. They sold their parcel of Richebourg to Mongeard Mugneret and Hudelot Noellat in 1980s. Perfect condition. Amazing how lively this shows. — 3 years ago

Forward nose of ripe yellow apple, lemon, hints of tropical fruit. Fleshy and round palate with the acidity showing on the finish. Very pleasant albeit very young. — 5 years ago
