2020 Vosne-Romanée, Les Suchots, 1er Cru, Pierre Girardin vougeot Natural corkPart of a contract by, which they run the vineyards and then buy the grapes. The vines are well situated at the top, according to Pierre. 90% whole bunch vinification. Rich dense purple, with a rather reductive nose at the moment.

This is a dense Suchots, which doesnt close down in the middle, but the tannins are a little rougher than expected at the finish Ethough this might be the reduction speaking.
