2021 Alain Hudelot-Noellat Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots (750ml)

The 2021 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru has a pure and quite sensual bouquet with more complexity and fruité than the Beaumonts. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, taut and linear with a slightly candied and persistent finish. This is one of the best 2021s from Hudelot-Noëllat. (Drink between 2026-2045)” 93-95, Neal Martin, Vinous (1/23) "The ancient vines in the domaine’s 0.45-hectare parcel of Suchots were planted more than a century ago. They give a wine of impressive density and a lush, ripe red and black fruit sweet berry fruit character that exemplifies what the French call ‘sucrosité’—sugary-ness. Still, this wine has the structure, depth, and grip to bring everything into balance. This wine is an outstanding example of Vosne premier cru that has the potential to improve for twenty to thirty years in the cellar. (Drink between 2027-2050)” 94 points, Charles Curtis MW, Decanter (11/22)
