Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux, under the visionary Charles Lachaux, has become one of Burgundy’s most sought-after domaines, known for biodynamic farming, whole-cluster fermentations, and wines of striking perfume and texture. Les Grands Suchots is one of Vosne-Romanée’s most celebrated premiers crus, lying between Romanée-Saint-Vivant and Richebourg, with clay-limestone soils that produce Pinot Noir of power and aromatic complexity. The 2018 vintage was warm and generous, yielding concentrated wines with richness, balance, and age-worthiness.

What does this wine taste like?

Professional Reviews

Burghound

"This too is very floral in character with its beguiling blend of red and dark pinot fruit, sandalwood, Asian-style tea and plenty of spice whiffs. There is an equally refined mouthfeel to the rich, suave and highly seductive medium-bodied flavors that tighten up quickly on the balanced and impressively persistent finale. This is very Suchots in character and an excellent example."

"The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru from Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux comes from a producer that continues to make waves, evidenced by the recent thread on Your Say. I want to emphasize that this was poured blind like the others, bought directly from their UK importer. It comes across highly perfumed with red fruit, Morello cherries and cranberry on the nose, quite floral with neatly integrated oak. Its precocity gives away the growing season. The palate is very pretty, supple in texture and pure with a harmonious, silky-smooth finish. You could describe it as a “dashing” Les Suchots, though it is missing the complexity of its greatest exponents. I cannot see it closing down at this stage, but let’s see where it will go." -Neal Martin

"I couldn't resist drinking a bottle of Charles Lachaux's 2018 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Grands Suchots, and while this is an immensely serious wine, built for the cellar, I certainly enjoyed catching it before it shuts down. Unfurling in the glass with a deep and kaleidoscopically complex bouquet of wild berries, peonies, cinnamon, Indian spices and blood orange, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and complete, with striking concentration without weight, exquisitely powdery structuring tannins, and a long, perfumed finish. This is a magical wine in the making and readers shouldn't hesitate to jump at the opportunity to acquire a few bottles, the high market price notwithstanding." -William Kelley

"Charles Lachaux has renamed his parcel within the great vineyard of Les Suchots, based on its historical name. It has exceptionally old vines aiming for their centenary. The powerful nose is perfumed with cherry and raspberry fruit; it's both assertive and refined. Very concentrated - yields were very low - the svelte texture of the palate is driven by powerful tannins. Yet it's not too extracted, being lifted, nuanced, and complex. Decidedly youthful, it displays a long spicy finish."
