crisp with flint stony notes with a finish that goes on and on

the bottom of which has been laser-etched to ensure that a brilliant stream of fine bubbles rises effortlessly up the glass

2020 Vosne-Romanée, Les Suchots, 1er Cru, Pierre Girardin vougeot {***}{region}St Emilion{region} {color} Red{color} {maturity}laying-down{maturity}Part 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. Very concentrated colour and the nose cleans up. 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.
