Country: France / Les Suchots Premier Cru
Variety: Pinot Noir Burgundy
Winery: Bouchard Père & Fils / Vosne-Romanée
The largest of the premier crus of Vosne-Romanée can make complete wines, as in this example. It has ripe fruit, touched with juiciness, but it is the enveloping firm and full structure that gives the wine its special character. It has a range of sweet fruit flavors, allied to dark tannins, suggesting aging potential.
