Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Suchots 2006

Domaine Jean Grivot’s Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots is one of the most coveted expressions of Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits, drawn from a prized vineyard set between Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Richebourg and Échezeaux. This premier cru is renowned for combining sensual texture, depth and finesse, and in Grivot’s hands it delivers a wine with grand cru-like intensity and classic Vosne elegance.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Les Suchots typically shows a deep, alluring ruby hue. The bouquet is layered with ripe red berries—cherry, strawberry and raspberry—lifted by floral hints, spice and, with age, more savory nuances of leather, forest floor and gentle smoke, alongside subtle oak tones such as vanilla, cocoa or cigar box. The palate is silky and expansive, balancing concentrated fruit with vibrant acidity and fine-grained tannins. There is a beautifully poised mix of red fruit, darker undertones and a chalky mineral edge that gives the wine length and definition. While immediately seductive, the 2006 vintage also has the structure to evolve gracefully for many years, developing greater complexity with notes of truffle, undergrowth and exotic spice.

Production
Les Suchots comes from a premier cru parcel in Vosne-Romanée with deep clay-limestone soils and excellent exposure, conditions that favor naturally aromatic, layered Pinot Noir. At Domaine Jean Grivot, the grapes are fully destemmed and fermented with native yeasts, then matured in oak barrels with a measured proportion of new wood—typically around 30–60% for the premier crus—so the vineyard character remains front and center.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for refined dishes such as roast duck, guinea fowl, quail, veal, or mushroom-based preparations like truffle risotto and wild mushroom tart. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for about 30–60 minutes if the bottle is young or recently opened; older bottles may only need a gentle aeration.
