Marchand Tawse Vosne Romanee Les Suchots 1er Cru – 2015

The 2015 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru les Suchots is matured in 75% new barrel with 100% whole bunch fruit. Situated right next to Echezeaux Grand Cru and Clos St Denis, this is a wonderful terroir. Only 1.5 barrels were produced.
“An intensely floral nose offers up notes of lilac, violet, lavender and rose petal along with plenty of spice elements on the various dark berry liqueur-like aromas. The powerful, opulent and concentrated big-bodied flavors possess a velvety mouth feel thanks to the abundant dry extract that buffers the very firm tannic spine shaping the hugely long finish. This is textbook Suchots and is absolutely built-to-age and is going to need it.” Allen Meadows, Burghound
