Burgundy Insights from the Winehog

Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux, Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 2015

By -

The Arnoux-Lachaux plot on Les Suchots is located in the top part – the supposedly best half of the vineyard – and at the very top on the border to Echezeaux Les Cruots and just below Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts. This is a signature wine for this estate but can not match the cool and vibrant Latricieres in this vintage. The bouquet offer juicy and vibrant predominantly red fruit – raspberries, red currant – hint of pomegranate spiced with cinnamon and violets. On the palate juicy and focused with a lovely freshness and vibrancy on the mid-palate. Build for pleasure – a Outstanding Suchots in the making.

Vins d’émotion – wines that offer joy and hedonistic thrills

The principle with vins d’emotion is that they bring you extraordinary joy and hedonistic thrills.  A wine can be great, and at the same time not quite be a vin d’emotion.

All wines that evoke these emotional responses deserve a recommendation, and I have therefore created four levels of emotion recommendation: from the true and rare vin d’émotion to wines with some emotional potential.

A true vin d’émotion – a Burgundy of passion

A truly hedonistic wine – lively and enjoyable

A vivacious wine for pure indulgance
