Lucien Le Moine Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru Les Suchots 2022

A mature pearl from Burgundy

Name: Lucien Le Moine Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots 2022
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
Alcohol content: approximately 13% vol.

Fragrance and aroma

The wine shows impressive maturity, with aromas that open up to ripe black and red berries—blackcurrant and blackberry—along with spicy undertones of coriander, ginger and a touch of white truffle. There are also notes of musk and citrus zest that bring light and freshness to the bouquet.

Taste and texture

In the mouth the wine is rich and concentrated without lacking elegance. It is full of ripe fruit, and the mid palate is both creamy and dense, with an intensity that almost 'colours' the taste buds with fruit. The tannins are well integrated but still prominent enough to provide structure, and the finish is long and persistent with fine spicy and mineral notes.

Storage potential and recommendation

The 2022 edition of Les Suchots has already reached a mature stage, but will continue to develop over the next several years. It will become richer and more complex with age—read: more tertiary notes of forest floor, dried berries and spices followed by leather and perhaps a little 'earthy' minerality.

Food pairing

This is a wine that pairs best with powerful dishes: game like venison or deer, duck breast with dark sauces and mushrooms, or mature cheeses like Comté or Beaufort. It can also be enjoyed on its own as a meditative wine that invites to be savored over time.
