Drank blinded side by side with the 2009 comparing the 2 different era of winemaker. Most guess this as the younger plot and guesses were gevrey or chambolle due to the 2009. Rather backward, jammy, some earth and burnt rubber. On the 2nd day, it blossom especially on the palate with hint of red cherry, mint and spice. (624 views) | | | Tasted by melvinyeowq on 4/22/2023 & rated 94 points: Champagnes and dinner with Alan and friends: Just as classy as the previous wine, clearly from another exceptional producer. Guessed ‘10 Suchots because of the purity of the fruit. A seductive, high-toned nose, on the palate it was more ready and delicate than the Meo. Someone said this was Chambolle-like which made sense so thought the maker must have been H-N. On the night I preferred this to the Meo by virtue it being more open, but both were top of the class standard.

Notes: still quite young at this moment and I remain questionable on the balance of the wine at this very moment. Tasted together with a 2008 and the 2006 seems a lot more not ready. I believe the wine will benefit from further aging for at least another 5 years and I am unable to give a favorable rating at this very moment.

Rating: 88 (766 views) | | | Tasted by western on 7/21/2021 & rated 93 points: Fully mature,delicious (1623 views) | | | Tasted by brooklynguy on 11/27/2020: Not as great as previous bottles. Still very good wine - lovely and elegant nose of daark fruits and subtle soil hints, also some hints of Vosne spice but not prominent at all, even after a few hours. Balanced on the palate with delicious dark fruit, good acidity, and a silky voluptuous texture. The 2006 issue with drying back-end tannins is apparent in this bottle, however, and the wine lacks the overall impact (and spiced aromatics) of a great Suchots. Previous bottles were better. Who knows... (2423 views) | | | Tasted by Cote d'Or on 7/17/2020: Tasted over 2 hrs, bottle from secondary market

-spice red fruit warm earth
-med acidity, med/med- weight faded earthy red fruit a bit lean, mildly astringent med- tannins
-not bad but a bit disappointing for a Suchots from this producer and vintage (1616 views) | | | Tasted by Rieslingfan on 7/14/2020: 2006 has been a tough vintage. I have opened bottles here and there, only to be faced with hard, charmless wines. This was a different story from the very first pour.
Damp earth, menthol, cherry, maybe even a little roasted meat, converged in a warm, inviting aromatic. It took some work to parse out the elements, as it was so well integrated to a harmonious framework. Still notable tannins starting on the mid-palate, but plenty of material for further (5-10 years) of aging for things to further soften. Despite the bit of constriction from the middle to the finish it’s a fully promising showing, as a formerly severe wine has started to show its soul.

Detailed aromas and flavors of spices - cumin and anise. Lush layers of dark fruits and earth on the nose and the palate, very long and palate staining. Delicious and highly expressive of place, a truly lovely Vosne 1er. (2572 views) | | | Tasted by Rieslingfan on 3/11/2018: Starting to come into its own, the 2006 Suchots is open, and has the beginnings of bottle aged complexity. Red fruit, floral, spice and subtle leafy aromas are supported by solid acidity and softening tannins on the palate. There is good depth in the mid-palate, though the finish does not flesh out quite as much. I still have a couple of glasses worth to follow tomorrow evening, which will give me a better gage on how much longer this needs to finish rounding into form. (2166 views) | | | Tasted by aajder on 3/21/2017 & rated 92 points: Beautiful color. The nose shows ripe aromas of raspberry, spice, flowers, minerals, oak and a hint of black tea. This is medium full bodied on the palate with excellent concentration and good finesse. The long finish features slightly rigid tannins. (2969 views) | | | Tasted by LW31 on 3/10/2017: Hard, touch tannins, and pretty shutdown. Comparing to other notes, we might have gotten unlucky, but I would say stay for several more years at least. (1469 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 3/10/2017: The Verticals at La Paulée 2017 (The Rainbow Room, New York): Slightly deeper than the 2000. Bit of brettanomyces, blacker fruit, some tannic grip. Not chunky for an '06 and still in the more delicate style of the domain. Very good with room for more development. (3007 views) | | | Tasted by JOsgood on 3/10/2017: La Paulée Verticals Tasting (Rainbow Room NYC): What a beauty. Great bottle. Very alive with gorgeous red fruits. (2920 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 3/10/2017: La Paulée de New York: Vertical Tasting (Rainbow Room - New York NY): Tasting, brief note. Lots of ripe fruit, lots of tannins. Not quite perfectly balanced forme. Certainly good and probably still having some upside.

(3692 views) | | | Tasted by Sycamore on 9/4/2015 & rated 91 points: Continues to evolve nicely and drinking very well right now. Goes toe-to-toe with the Malconsorts, in fact, and might even be more interesting right now -- certainly has more of the Vosne spice at present. (2581 views) | | | Tasted by bpj87 on 2/22/2015 & rated 92 points: Not yet in its proper drinking window, but already offering a pretty floral nose and rich, round Suchots fruit on the darker end of the spectrum, balanced by good acidity. Loads of Asian spice on the nose and palate. Tannins are still prominent and could use some time to integrate. (2672 views) | | | Tasted by englishman's claret on 1/11/2015 & rated 95 points: This started out all raspberries and cream; the Vosne spice and floral aspects of this just kept on growing and with an hour of air this sang beautifully. Refined, aristocratic Suchots just edging into maturity. This should drink beautifully for a couple decades. The next day I went to buy more but, alas, all gone!

And easy going and charming. (3970 views) | | | Tasted by ttzhaott on 12/18/2013 & rated 90 points: Nez cuir, sous bois, bonbon, similaire qu'un chambolle mais le gout plus concentré qu'un chambolle de dujac. Bien! (3083 views) | | | Tasted by Sycamore on 6/3/2012 & rated 91 points: Qualitatively on par with the '06 Beaumonts that we had a week earlier. Wish they were side-by-side, but from memory, the most prominent differences are that the Suchots is a little darker-fruited and has more pronounced tannins -- though they are fairly soft and chalky. The Suchots also seems a little behind on the aging curve, though that could just be bottle variation. Very good wine in any case, and probably better still 2014+.

| Alain Hudelot-Noëllat Producer websitePinot Noir Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.Les Suchots on weinlagen-info.deFrance Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
Côte de Nuits on weinlagen.infoVosne-Romanée 1er CruVosne Romanée is one of the smallest wine villages in Burgundy The wines possess diverse characteristics, but they can generally considered to have complexity and longevity beyond nearly all other wines in the world.
