Aromas of cherries, wild berries, plum preserves, exotic spices and candied citrus peel introduce the 2020 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots, a medium to full-bodied, rich and concentrated wine that's broad and fleshy, with bright acids and plenty of powdery structuring tannins. This, too, shows plenty of promise.

Unfurling to reveal aromas of dark berries, plums and spices mingled with rich soil tones and dark chocolate, Cathiard's 2018 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots is medium to full-bodied, broad and enveloping, with a generous core of fruit, velvety tannins and a long, pure finish.

Bursting from the glass with lavish aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries and cassis that mingle with nuances of smoked duck and rich soil, the 2017 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots is full-bodied, broad and dramatic, with a fleshy attack, considerable depth and volume at the core, and a long, succulent finish. This is an immensely seductive Suchots.

The 2014 Vosne Romanée 1er Cru les Suchots has the most Pinoté on the nose of Cathiard's Premier Crus -- wonderful, effervescent red berry fruit, orange peel, blood orange and limestone scents, all detailed and intense. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, with just a touch of toastiness deriving from the new oak, but this has real finesse and tenderness on the finish that is suffused with blood orange and a touch of spice. This is regal.
