🏰 The 2013 Hudelot Noellat Vosne Romanee Les Suchots 1er Cru is a 【textbook expression of Les Suchots, offering vibrant red currant and cranberry scents with a floral touch】. The 2013 vintage in Burgundy was challenging, with a late harvest after a miserable spring and damp summer, but the Côte de Nuits reds, where Les Suchots is located, were generally sounder and produced attractive wines with intense flavor profiles due to low yields. This wine presents a medium-bodied palate with supple, juicy tannins, a fine line of acidity, and a tangy, marmalade-tinged finish that coats the mouth in spicy red fruit. It boasts terrific inner-mouth energy to its dark berry, violet, and pepper flavors, with a saline element adding another dimension. 🍴 This elegant Premier Cru Burgundy pairs beautifully with roasted duck breast, pan-seared foie gras, mushroom-based dishes like wild mushroom tart, or a classic coq au vin. For an Asian touch, consider Cantonese roast pigeon or a delicate braised shiitake mushroom dish. 🥂 Ideal for a special occasion dinner, a Burgundy tasting, or as a cherished addition to a growing cellar. This wine is drinking well now but will continue to evolve and reward further cellaring for 7 to 10 years.
