Arnoux-Lachaux Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Les Suchots 2016 [NET]

$79999

Les Suchots is widely considered the top Premier Cru in Vosne-Romanee, sandwiched between Romanee-Saint-Vivant and Echezeaux and capable of Grand Cru-level profundity in the right hands. Charles Lachaux's hands certainly qualify—his work with whole-cluster fermentation, tall vine training, and biodynamic farming has put this estate at the top of every Burgundy collector's list. The 2016 vintage was a small, classical year in the Cote de Nuits, yielding wines of brightness, energy, and unusual purity. Coming up on a decade, this bottle is at a lovely point: still vibrant but with secondary aromatics beginning to emerge. Reach for an evening that calls for something extraordinary.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2016 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru has an intriguing, almost peaty-like bouquet with the 100% stem addition perhaps not quite as subsumed as the Les Chaumes. The palate is well balanced with a slither of marmalade on the entry. Vibrant and fresh with edgy and chalky tannin that dovetail into a brine-tinged finish. Very fine, although I might just have a preference for the Les Chaumes." —Neal Martin

Robert Parker

94 points

"The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots is one of the highlights of the range this year, offering up a complex bouquet of rose petal, Asian spices, wild berries and sapid bass notes of grilled game bird and smoke. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and layered, with satiny structuring tannins, an intensely concentrated core of fruit and a long, resonant finish. This is a powerful, complete and tight-knit Suchots that will really reward bottle age." —William Kelley
