Cask sample. Mid cherry red. Stunning red-fruited perfume here. Floral and fruity in the extreme. Fine and finely chewy tannins, scented on the palate, with the dry character that it is hard to get in combination with this scentedness outside of the Côte d’Or. Pure, pretty but with depth as well. Long and moreish with the freshness to balance.Inc. TAX€480.48 -

An attractive mid crimson colour. A fine fresh bouquet, elegant fruit, not too demonstrative, but with a graceful detailed red fruit, alpine strawberry and little raspberry notes. Very nicely put together, all about the fruit more than the structure. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted: November 2023.Inc. TAX€633.34 -

The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots includes 100% whole cluster with 50% new oak. It has a refined, elegant, mild-mannered bouquet with pure raspberry preserve, cranberry and subtle tobacco scents that unroll with aeration, though never quite delivering the opulence synonymous with the premier cru. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle but insistent grip on the entry. In some ways, the whole bunch addition lends this structure and shifts it toward, say, a Malconsorts in style (not to suggest that is necessarily a bad thing!). Linear and precise, it will require 7 to 10 years in bottle to really show its best. The bottom line is that this is one of the finest Les Suchots that I tasted in 2016.Inc. TAX€1,276.38 -

Pleasing mid crimson. There is less immediate fruit evident on the nose. Less ripe, stricter, firmer, some citrus notes, middleweight, as ever I don’t quite see the magic at least while this wine is young. More in acidity than tannin to finish. Tasted: December 2021Inc. TAX€531.97 -

Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes from Domaine François Lamarche was showing some volatility on the nose, though nothing to get too worried about. Hints of cherry liqueur here with a slight reductive metallic note. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly dry tannin and some hardness deriving from wood tannins on the finish. Perhaps bottle age will help this? Then again, it never quite got out of the blocks when I tasted it in barrel.Inc. TAX€170.35 -

The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Chaumes 1er Cru has a tightly wound bouquet of crushed strawberry and touches of orange pith, nicely defined if not as vigorous as the 2016. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red cherry and raspberry preserve on the entry, a slight tingle of licked limestone toward the second half and an easygoing but quite persistent finish. Enjoy this over the next decade.Inc. TAX€519.24 -

The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Les Chaumes 1er Cru comes from just over half a hectare of vine split over two parcels. It has a pretty bouquet of perfumed red berry fruit laced with pressed rose petals and light sous-bois scents. The palate commences with a fleshy opening, then offers pure red fruit laced with a pinch of spice. Gentle and caressing in the mouth, with a nicely delineated finish. The headline here is just "drinkability," and it will only require a couple of years in bottle.Inc. TAX€668.04 -

Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts from Domaine François Lamarche has a refined and detailed bouquet: fresh strawberry, cranberry leaf and minerals, all very attractive. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, just a dab of oak to be fully subsumed, but with plenty of weight and volume on the pretty, quite spicy finish. It's just a delicious, well-crafted Vosne-Romanée and one of the best from the domaine in 2012.Inc. TAX€1,278.72 -

The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet of dark berry fruit, oyster shell, sous-bois and rose petals, intense and fragrant. The harmonious palate is silky-smooth on the entry with finely judged acidity. A subtle touch of spice develops nicely toward the finish, which leaves a persistent, peppery aftertaste. A toothsome Vosne-Romanée to tuck away for several years. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.Inc. TAX€311.48 -

The 2021 will be the final Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts 1er Cru from Lamarche after the division of the Domaine. Now, this has more punch on the nose compared to the Suchots and Chaumes that precede it. A light tertiary note percolates through the red fruit. The palate is harmonious on the entry with well judged acidity, very pure and ethereal in style, a hint of spice with more persistence on the finish. A delicate but admirable wine.Inc. TAX€839.10 -

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Suchots 2011 is more reserved on the nose than their Chaumées, but there is a touch more complexity, the brambly red and black fruit infused with fine minerality and tension. The palate is smooth and rounded on the entry with a lot of extraction so that it feels plump around the middle. Juicy and pure, what it lacks in complexity is compensated by its saturated tannins and opulent blueberry-tinged finish that is just missing some persistence, cutting away before you have had an opportunity to show your gratitude.Inc.

The 2015 Vosne Romanee 1er Cru les Suchots offers up aromas of plums, cassis and spice, followed by a medium-bodied, rather inscrutable palate without any real discernible concentration or depth.

The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru comes from a 0.58-hectare parcel of vines averaging 50 years old. The bouquet is similar to the Les Chaumes, featuring vibrant red cherries and touches of cassis, here a little more vivid in style, with good definition, though not the ravishing opulence you might find elsewhere. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins on the entry, fine acidity, gentle grip, very pure red fruit and a touch of crushed stone and black pepper toward the finish.
