"There is gratifying richness and depth to the ripe plummy fruit with a mineral edge and notes of fresh violets and spice. The texture is firmly tannic, but there is abundant density and the freshness to draw the wine to a lingering finish. The grapes are from a quarter-hectare in the lower section of Suchots where their neighbour is Comte Liger-Belair; Mathilde thinks of it as 'my little Richebourg'. The wine will open in three to five years and should continue to improve for a further 30." Decanter 96p
"Limpid in the glass, this has a dazzling nose of brown spice, dark berry fruits and some uplifting lilacs. This behaved in a surprisingly friendly manor for Suchots at this stage,when it tends to be more reserved and sometimes even burly. Not so this time. Plus, its satiny tannins, gently textured mid-palate and elegant arch of back palate acidity makes it feel nicely integrated already. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if this concentrated rock star closes down in the bottle." Tim Atkin 96p
"The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru has a slight reduction on the nose, though perhaps it doesn't deliver the tension and complexity of the Aux Brûlées or Les Beaux Monts. The medium-bodied palate has fine tannins and dark berry fruit mixed with white pepper and light garrigues notes. It is quite complex and refined on the finish. Lovely." Vinous 93-95p
