Region: Burgundy
Sub Region: Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots
Variety: Pinot Noir
Country: France
Vintage: 2023
The Wine
Les Suchots is widely regarded as one of the finest Premier Crus in Vosne-Romanée, lying directly between Romanée-Saint-Vivant and Richebourg. Given its extraordinary location and remarkable consistency, it is often spoken of as a de facto Grand Cru, producing wines that combine the perfume and exotic spice of Vosne with exceptional depth and longevity.
Domaine de l'Arlot farms a small parcel within this celebrated vineyard under the same biodynamic principles that have transformed the estate over the past two decades. The limestone-rich soils, gentle east-facing slope and old vines consistently produce fruit of remarkable precision and natural balance.
Fruit is hand harvested before partial whole-bunch fermentation using indigenous yeasts. Gentle extraction and maturation in French oak preserve the vineyard's hallmark fragrance and silky texture while allowing the distinctive mineral character of Suchots to shine through.
Production is tiny, making this one of the rarest wines in the Domaine de l'Arlot portfolio and one of the most sought-after.
Cellared Says
There are very few Premier Crus I'd choose ahead of Suchots, and this is a wonderful example of why. It delivers much of the perfume, silk and complexity collectors chase in Vosne's Grand Crus, but at a considerably more approachable price. If you're looking for one bottle to put away for a decade or two, I'd start here.
