Vosne-Romanée AOC 1er Cru Les Suchots 2021 Domaine de l'Arlot

Les Suchots from Domaine de l'Arlot is an elegant and complex red wine, produced in the prestigious terroir of Vosne-Romanée, in the 1er Cru appellation of Burgundy. This wine represents one of the greatest expressions of Pinot Noir, with vineyards located among some of the greatest crus of Burgundy such as Romanée Saint-Vivant, Échezeaux and Richebourg.

The grapes are harvested by hand to ensure the freshness of the fruit. The winemaking follows traditional methods that enhance the purity and complexity of the Pinot Noir. The fermentations are precise, with light pumping over to best enhance the terroir. The aging takes place for 15 months in oak barrels, with a portion of new wood, followed by a further 3 months in steel tanks before bottling. This process allows the wine to develop a refined structure and an aromatic depth that is enriched with aging.

It presents itself to the nose with notes of red fruits, flowers and spices. On the palate it reveals a beautiful structure with a broad and long finish, characterized by a subtle minerality and fine and delicate tannins. It is a wine of great purity, capable of evolving over time, passing from youthful aromas of fruit and flowers to more mature tones of spices, licorice, undergrowth and leather.

This red wine pairs perfectly with meat dishes such as a beef fillet served with grilled foie gras or a slow-cooked veal shank.
