James Suckling: 95 Points
An extremely elegant Vosne-Romanee 1er cru with the finesse and gracefulness we expect from this appellation. I love the floral delicacy and the summer-morning freshness of this beauty. I love the way the texture transforms from silkiness to velvet as the wine flows over your palate. And there’s a wonderful tension in the finish that makes it linger very long. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Decanter Magazine: 95 Points
The lovely 2022 Suchots from Domaine de l'Arlot is complex and nuanced, with a sweet, silky curranty fruit and plenty of depth from mint, black tea, and earth notes. The texture is fresh and lively, with good acidity and firm tannins. The grapes come from a 0.85-hectare parcel in the upper portion of the vineyard; they are destemmed and gently fermented on native yeasts before ageing in cask (40% new). This wine will benefit from a couple of years in the bottle before opening.
Vinous: 93-95 Points
The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru, matured in 40% new oak, is intense on the nose, opulent yet controlled with mainly red berry fruit, allspice and rose petal scents, just a hint of black olive emerging with time. Very well-defined. The medium-bodied palate comes armed with a voluptuous entry, almost viscous in texture, intense yet delineated with a gradual build to its sweet and detailed finish. This will require four to five years to open for business, but it is certainly a "serious" Les Suchots with a wonderful spicy edge.
