RATINGS

92+ The Wine Advocate

Offering up pretty aromas of raspberries, spices and a discrete framing of new wood, this Suchots is medium to full-bodied, supple and charming, with ripe acids, fine-grained tannins and a nicely defined finish.

92Wine Spectator

...featuring earthy and animal notes that give way to flavors of smoky cherry, violet, iron and spice. A beefy red, with a long, earth-tinged aftertaste.

92-94Vinous / IWC

...pure bouquet of black cherries, raspberry and crushed strawberry, nicely focused and quite sensual in style. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky tannin, rather masculine in style for a Les Suchots but very tensile toward the mineral-driven, quite voluminous finish.

90-92Burghound.com

...notes from the softly oaky nose of floral, spice and dark raspberry. There is good richness and volume to the velvet-textured medium-bodied flavors that are surprisingly robust on the mildly tangy if solidly lingering finish.

17Jancis Robinson

Attractive undergrowth character – mushroom and fern – makes this typically burgundian, but with bright, clean fruit to give clarity. Rounded and chewy on the palate with mouth-watering acidity and a savoury, gastronomic finish.

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.
