🏰 【Capturing the sensual, perfumed elegance of this coveted Premier Cru, the 2017 Michel Noëllat Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots offers both immediate charm and serious aging potential.】 The 2017 vintage in Burgundy was a little warm and dry during the summer, but frost was largely avoided in Vosne-Romanée, resulting in wines with an accessible, charming character in youth, yet with balanced structure for graceful evolution. This Pinot Noir displays a deep, luminous ruby hue with garnet reflections. The nose is intensely aromatic yet refined, with layers of ripe red cherry, wild strawberry, and raspberry coulis, interwoven with rose petals, violet, and a delicate spice bouquet of clove, star anise, and sandalwood. Subtle notes of fine vanilla, cocoa nib, forest floor, and truffle echo its Burgundian pedigree. On the palate, it is silky and precise, with a fine-boned structure, juicy red and black berry fruit, vibrant acidity, and ultra-fine, chalky tannins. Savory undertones of black tea, graphite, and a touch of smoke add complexity and length. 🍴 This magnificent red Burgundy shines with refined yet flavorful cuisine. Think roasted duck breast with cherries, grilled lamb chops, classic coq au vin, or a venison medallion. It also pairs beautifully with game birds, truffle-infused dishes, beef bourguignon, charcuterie boards, and aged but not overly powerful cheeses such as Comté or Brillat-Savarin. 🥂 A superb choice for a celebratory dinner, a special anniversary, or a serious Burgundy tasting, this wine is designed to impress and evolve gracefully. Decant for at least an hour before serving to allow it to fully express itself, and serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F).
