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.
