The 2023 Domaine de l'Arlot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru 'Les Suchots' is already receiving high praise, with James Suckling awarding it 95 points for its stunning purity and silky texture. Tim Atkin also rated it 94 points, noting its enticing delicacy and pretty character. The vintage conditions saw a mild and rainy winter, followed by spring warmth that encouraged an early vegetative cycle. Despite some cluster loss due to cool and damp conditions during flowering, the remaining clusters were well-aerated, reducing disease risk. Warm, relatively dry weather in August improved veraison and ripening. This wine is described as translucent and pure, with vivid aromas of cherries, blood oranges, potpourri, cured meat, and autumn leaves. The palate is seamless, with fine-grained tannins and a silken texture that delivers power with refinement. Vinous notes a floral bouquet with wilted rose petals, vivacious red cherry/crushed strawberry fruit, and a touch of incense. It's medium-bodied with smooth tannins and a slightly ferrous finish that lingers nicely. 【 James Suckling 95 points for stunning purity and silky texture. 】 🍴 Food Pairing: This elegant Pinot Noir is a perfect match for roasted lamb chops, mushroom risotto, and grilled chicken.
