The 2013 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru les Suchots has a refined bouquet with raspberry and a fresh punnet of strawberries interlaced with undergrowth and woodland scents. The palate is well balanced with supple tannins, quite lively red cherry and raspberry fruit with just a slight tininess coming through on the finish. It does not quite possess the exuberance of joie-de-vivre of les Suchots, but it is nicely focused.
