RATINGS

93Wine Spectator

Black currant, black cherry, violet and toasted spice aromas and flavors are the hallmarks of this suave red. Shows prominent oak today, so give this time to find equilibrium.

93Burghound.com

Spice and floral elements, in particular rose petal and violet, that add a touch of elegance to the tea, cassis and dark cherry-scented nose. There is a rich, suave and velvety texture to the palate coating medium weight flavors

92+ Stephen Tanzer

Sexy scents of dark raspberry, blueberry, coffee and spices are distinctly darker...Very rich, sappy and deep but youthfully tight, offering intense flavors of slightly tart cranberry and pomegranate. Very elegantly styled

PRODUCER

Domaine de L'Arlot

Domaine de L'Arlot, located in Premeaux-Prissey, just south of Nuits-St.-Georges, Burgundy, was started in 1987 by AXA, the French insurance company. The original property consisted of three monopoles: Clos de l’Arlot; Clos du Chapeau in Comblanchien; and Clos des Forets St. Georges. In the early 1990s the domaine added parcels in Romanee-St- Vivant and Vosne-Romanee Les Suchots. The domaine today includes 34 acres and Olivier Leriche is winemaker. Wines produced include Grand Cru Romanee-St.-Vivant, and Premier Crus in Vosne-Romanee.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits Villages, Vosne-Romanee, Les Suchots

Les Suchots is a 33-acre Premier Cru in Vosne-Romanee, in Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. The vineyard is at the same elevation as Romanee-Saint-Vivant. Its neighbors are Romanee-Saint-Vivant and Richebourg on the south and Les Echezeaux to the north.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
