Immediately greeted by cinnamon, red fruit and oak. A showy red fruited palate with oak that needs to integrate. Lingering finish.

Highly tannic. Never understood why the upper part of Suchots is not grand cru. Below richebourg and next to romanee st vivant and echezeaux. Fully deserving and this is a prime example.

Premier cru that should be reclassified to grand cru.

Pure expression of Pinot again by a great producer this is a grand cru vineyard much better than most echezeaux.

Nothing new to add. Don’t understand why a vineyard like this one surrounded by grand crus is a premier, especially for the plots close to the road.

A clear example of why I think that a les Suchots from the best producers is just as good a “grand” cru as its famous neighbors of across the little street. Yammy Bing cherries, full bodied, long burn. Simply delicious in a year that drinks beautifully now but can age as well.

Two identical bottles. One heaven one hell. The curse of the cork. Still prefer this over the”thing” that Ponsot put in his bottles as of the 2008 vintage. Call me a romantic.

Mid-weight pure bing cherries and raspberries delight. Some professional taster called it a hedonistic wine and that is exactly what it is. A wine to fully enjoy now but of course you can wait. Will it get better ? It will become differently good but if you want to have pure enjoyment of a young Pinot this is clearly one to enjoy.
