Domaine de Bellene 2019 Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru "Les Suchots, Cote-d Or, Burgundy
“94 Points. Sourced from old vines planted in 1937 in a plot adjacent to La Romanée Saint Vivant, this powerfully ripe, deeply fruity red pulsates with roasted black-plum and cassis flavors. Matured in 50% new oak, it’s rounded and spicy, muted by accents of cinnamon, char and leather. A slightly warming, muscular wine with tannins that are tight in youth, it should hit peak from 2025 and improve through 2035.”—Wine Enthusiast
“92+ Points. A lovely, new oaky nose of red and black raspberries, smoked duck, a beautiful base of dark soil tones, woodsmoke, black tea, Vosne spices and a generous foundation of nutty new oak. On the palate the wine is pure, complex, full-bodied and plush at the core, with excellent mineral drive and grip, ripe, firm tannins, lovely focus and a long, ripely tannic and very promising finish. This is an excellent bottle of Suchot in the making, but it will need some extended cellaring to soften up, as it has still not fully absorbed its oak tannins yet.”—John Gilman
