Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots, 2016

We present Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots 2016, a benchmark expression of this storied premier cru from the domaine’s extensive old-vine parcel. In the classic 2016 vintage, the wine reflects the estate’s hands-off vinification—whole clusters, minimal intervention and extended oak aging—yielding a profile of finesse, spice and latent power.

Tasting Notes: On the nose, Les Suchots 2016 displays an intensely floral and spiced array of dark cherry, cassis, plum and black raspberry, with sandalwood, licorice and violet providing aromatic elegance. Subtle briary and mineral tones add definition, hinting at the site’s proximity to grand cru territory.

On the palate, the wine is broad-shouldered yet seductive, with a velvet texture, excellent volume and a seductive mouthfeel that coats the palate with sap and dry extract. Firm yet fine tannins frame the gorgeously long, balanced finish, marking this as a serious, ageworthy Suchots built for medium- to long-term cellaring.
