Les Suchots is the Vosne-Romanée premier cru with Grand Cru neighbours on every side that counts: Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Echézeaux and Richebourg all border it, and plenty of Burgundy experts rank it among the very best premiers crus in the village. L'Arlot's parcel sits right on the Romanée-Saint-Vivant line. It came to the domaine in the early 1990s together with a plot of that Grand Cru, so it's about as well placed as Suchots gets. Since Géraldine Godot took full control in 2015, this Premeaux domaine has cut back on extraction and new oak. That lets a site like this come through as perfume rather than muscle, and the house has farmed biodynamically since 2003. 2024 was a nervy year. A cool, damp flowering in June cost some clusters, but the ones that survived were well aired, and a warm, fairly dry August ripened the fruit through to a harvest in good weather from 18 to 21 September. You're getting Grand Cru neighbours at premier cru status, and it's worth putting away for a few years.

"The 2024 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru has a lovely nose, pure dark berry fruit laced with pressed violet and iris flower, seemingly unperturbed by the traumatic growing season. The palate is medium-bodied with quite grippy tannins, more backbone than the Clos des Fôrets, although there is a slight herbaceousness on the finish, almost as if there were stems in the mix. Still, I admire the freshness and sapidity and it should age well in bottle." —Neal Martin

More about Domaine de l'Arlot

For several decades now the Domaine de L'Arlot has been following its own path to creating wines that reflect both the subtleties of diverse terroirs and a distinct "house style" that is unique in Burgundy. The Domaine is located in Premeaux, on the southernmost edge of the Cotes-de-Nuits where Nuits-St-Georges tends to resemble Chambolle in elegance and perfume.

In 2015 the very talented Geraldine Godot was given full control of the domaine. She is committed to continuing the traditions of the house including biodynamic farming and a high percentage of whole clusters during fermentation. However she is making small changes, using less extraction and less new oak to achieve even more balance and grace.

The heart of the Domaine's holdings are two 1er Cru monopoles in Nuits-Saints-Georges: Clos de L'Arlot and Clos des Forets. These vineyards produce some of the most elegant wines in Nuits and are perfect examples of the finesse and purity of terroir that L'Arlot achieves.

They also have small parcels of vines in two of the top vineyards in Vosne-Romanée: Romanée-Saint-Vivant and Suchots. These blue chip wines are complimented by a range of excellent values from the Haut-Cotes and other sites surrounding Nuits.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

The domaine's own pick for Les Suchots is beef fillet with a slice of grilled foie gras. Roast duck breast with cherry sauce, a pheasant or squab dish, or wild mushroom risotto with a little truffle would also work.

Tasting Profile

Dry red Pinot Noir made in the house's style, with lighter extraction and less new oak. Expect a Vosne-Romanée perfume of red fruit, a medium body, fresh acidity, fine-grained tannins and a long, clean finish. It's built for elegance over power and should get better with a few years in the cellar.
