| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.1 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 34 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by TXRhoneRanger on 2/1/2023 & rated 94 points: This was an excellent bottle. Really clean and clear cork, translating beautifully into the wine. Medium ruby color. Perfumed nose of red fruits and fresh cut savory herbs. The wine gained complexity over the past few hours with air. Nice mouthfeel & medium finish. Not a blockbuster but oh so elegant. Tasty & complete. Drink now through 2030 if well stored and provenanced. (511 views) | | | Tasted by jviz on 1/27/2023 & rated 90 points: Drink me now. A little raisin/fig. On the down slope of the curve. Resolved tannin with still present acidity (678 views) | | | Tasted by JOsgood on 9/4/2022 & rated 92 points: Drinking great now. Fully secondary with beautiful notes of mint and earth. (661 views) | | | Tasted by Thoughtful on 2/12/2021 & rated 91 points: Stored in cold cellar since release. Excellent colour. Subdued bouquet.
Medium to full bodied. Quite intense with good balance and acidity. Seemed to lack finesse expected from Vosne-Romanee.A good ten years ahead but do not see much development. Reminded of a top New Zealand pinot noir!! (1497 views) | | | Tasted by wineappreciation on 6/14/2020 & rated 91 points: Raspberry, strawberry, black cherry, sous bois; well-developed, smooth, linear, velvety, balanced, poised, slightly tart and acidic, not overly interesting but still very good indeed (1682 views) | | | Tasted by DougLee on 1/26/2020 & rated 88 points: Ruby color. Nose of raspberry, violets, anise. Wild berry and plum on the palate with some oak notes and spice. A bit dilute. Moderate acidity and firm tannin. Medium length finish of crushed red berry fruit and bits of vanilla. (1739 views) | | | Tasted by robferguson1 on 1/19/2020 & rated 91 points: Typical cherry undeveloped colour and not much nose , did not decant so hadn’t opened up
Still not showing secondary so a bit of a disappointment but mainly because I opened too soon and didn’t decant (1698 views) | | | Tasted by aChave on 11/7/2019 & rated 92 points: High toned fruit in the red spectrum. Fragrant on opening. Good structure, typical 2006, which shows lovely bouquet but not the flesh of a warmer year. Nice wine for Burg purists (like me?). 92-93 (1682 views) | | | Tasted by robferguson1 on 12/26/2017 & rated 92 points: Very young looking on opening great cherry red colour , nice nose but great long taste, wonderful (1730 views) | | | Tasted by robertek on 12/18/2015 & rated 92 points: Very good. Mature and ready ti drink. (3363 views) | | | Tasted by DSR on 2/5/2015 & rated 87 points: Black fruit and spice. Good acidity, light body, smooth tannins, medium finish. Much prefer Beaux Monts. (3420 views) | | | Tasted by JOsgood on 12/28/2014 & rated 88 points: This was just ok, unfortunately not to the level of my expectations. Light in weight with some nice Vosne spice and minty notes. Elegant in style. Was hoping for more stuffing. (3541 views) | | | Tasted by the godfather on 12/28/2014: Big spicy nose, lots of pepper, a bit one dimensional (3509 views) | | | Tasted by Alex H on 6/8/2013 & rated 88 points: Sweet rose petals with gingseng roots and stemmy red currants. A little chambolle action and might be a lil charmbertin too. This style I like. (4579 views) | | | Tasted by Paul S on 5/25/2013 & rated 93 points: Saturday lunch at Jade Palace with KG (Jade Palace, Forum Galleria): There have been rather mixed reviews on this wine, but drank blind, I thought it was excellent. There was a very complex nose here, with a touch of herby stems acting as an entry into a panoply of dried rose petals and toasty spice, earth and meat, and deep aromas of dark cherries and plums – quite a few of us guessed Vosne on that nose alone. Great palate too. This had a lovely depth of sappy red fruit, with red plums and crunchy dark cherries, then a waft of flowery perfume. I loved the purity on this, as well as the complex little notes of herb and wood spice trailing behind into an elegant finish built on slightly powdery tannins and well-integrated acidity in the background. While the wine did show some flesh, I thought it was rather spare and elegant for a 2006, showing good punchy structure and lots of energy. In fact, while this may not have the power of the best examples, it was a particular elegant expression of Suchots. Delicious stuff. Enjoyable in its relative youth, and should continue to drink well over the next decade. Like Alex H, I really liked the style of the wine. (3675 views) | | | Tasted by BradKNYC on 1/22/2013: Interesting wines on choucroute night at Sarah's. (Sarah's.): A bit demure, but I'm not convinced that it's due to youth rather than just a lack of substance. It has pleasant cherry flavors and aromas with a little bit of spice, but it's a bit unfocused and loose in the middle and the acidity needs a bit more flesh to balance it out. Perfectly fine, but it doesn't really keep you from looking around to see what wine is next. B/B+. (3640 views) | | | Tasted by Ramberg on 2/23/2012 & rated 86 points: This was okay, but not more.
Beaten by several village wines I have had from the same vintage.
After all, this is a premier, but not shoving any particular signs of that.
A bit dead, mainly showing harsh acidity, green, tart cherries, and too much wood.
Disappointing. (3522 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 12/4/2011 & rated 87 points: Knightsbridge Holiday Burgundy Sale (Northbrook, IL): Mostly lean red fruit with moderate spice, not really showing the classic Vosne character today. Everything seems in good balance, but without much nuance or complexity. (4793 views) | | | Tasted by Keith Levenberg on 9/17/2011 & rated 90 points: Very nice Suchots that's already showing a lot of Vosne-Romanée character with its cinnamon-spice inflection to the fruit. There is a rustic muscle to the tannin structure almost more reminiscent of Nuits, but this looks like a candidate to develop very well. (3711 views) | | | Tasted by blaine on 7/2/2010 & rated 88 points: Nice, drinking well. Has that 2006 ripe thing going on, but in a restrained way. I think this will be nice after 3-5 more years, but I would not call it a long-term ager. (3049 views) | | | Tasted by jtclabaugh on 4/2/2010 flawed bottle: Corked! (3132 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 3/12/2010: Medium to lighter ruby. All spicy, black fruited Pinot right out of the bottle. Then strong mint and evergreen aromas, and finally, back to Pinot with more cherry and licorice. Medium body with enough ripeness and acidity; good penetration and persistence in the mouth. Some stoniness appears at the back end. I thought this was excellent if not flashy. Fairly open right now. (3031 views) | | | Tasted by Beavis77 on 11/15/2009: Rich nose of baked cherries. The earthiness has a darker, more mushroomy funk to it.
Sweet cherry on the palate. Tannins and acidity are well balanced. Do get a touch of heat on finish along with some drying oak tannins. (3073 views) | | | Tasted by milwaukeewino on 11/15/2009: Knightsbridge Burgundy Tasting (Knightsbridge Wine Shop (IL)): Wine 4---
Floral and perfumed nose (at this point I noted that none of the wines thus far had really had an explosive nose).
Full mid-palate; tight, not showing a ton of fruit.
Long finish; needs time.
That said, second taste showed a lot of flavor.
Very good. (4424 views) | | | Tasted by wilmette vino on 11/15/2009: surprisingly good. Fragrant and spicy nose, moderate in size but nicely concentrated fruit and Vosne spice and complexity, very stylish with good balance and spicy finish. Despite its youth, it was ready to go after being open an hour or two. Revisit in 5 years. (2994 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

The House of Louis Jadot has been producing exceptional Burgundy wines since its founding in 1859 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot. For the past 150 years Louis Jadot has continued as one of the great names of Burgundy and has gained international reputation for its superb red and white Burgundy wines. Louis Jadot is not only one of the largest producers of estate Burgundies of the Cote d'Or, it is one of the most celebrated exporters of premium Burgundies, owning close to 140 acres of vineyards from 24 of the most prestigious sites in Burgundy.Pinot 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
