Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Suchots 2005

Domaine Jean Grivot’s Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots 2005 comes from one of the most coveted sites in Vosne-Romanée, tucked between Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Richebourg and Échezeaux. This is a wine known for its rare combination of sensuality, depth and refined power, with a pedigree that has long made Les Suchots one of the standout premier crus of the Côte de Nuits.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a polished ruby hue with the kind of clarity and concentration that hints at serious aging. The nose is generous and layered, offering red cherry, strawberry and raspberry alongside floral lift, spice, and evolving earthy notes of leather, forest floor and a subtle smoky edge, often framed by gentle oak nuances such as cocoa, vanilla or cigar box. On the palate, Les Suchots is celebrated for its silky texture and seamless balance of finesse and structure. The 2005 vintage adds depth and ripeness to the wine’s naturally elegant profile, with vibrant red fruit, darker undertones, fresh acidity and fine tannins carrying the finish. It has excellent aging potential and can continue to develop complexity for many years, gaining notes of truffle, undergrowth and exotic spice with time.

Production
Les Suchots sits on deeply expressive clay-limestone soils in a privileged central Vosne-Romanée location, with excellent exposure and proximity to some of Burgundy’s greatest grand crus. At Domaine Jean Grivot, the wine is typically made with full destemming, spontaneous fermentation and élevage in oak, with a moderate proportion of new barrels used to support the wine’s natural fruit and terroir expression without overwhelming it.

Food & Serving
This is a superb match for dishes that mirror its elegance and depth, such as roast duck, venison, beef tenderloin, coq au vin or mushroom-based dishes like truffle risotto. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant gently if the bottle is still showing youthful structure; older bottles are best opened carefully and allowed to breathe briefly before serving.
