Les Suchots is widely considered the top Premier Cru in Vosne-Romanee, sandwiched between Romanee-Saint-Vivant and Echezeaux and capable of Grand Cru-level profundity in the right hands. Charles Lachaux's hands certainly qualify—his work with whole-cluster fermentation, tall vine training, and biodynamic farming has put this estate at the top of every Burgundy collector's list. The 2016 vintage was a small, classical year in the Cote de Nuits, yielding wines of brightness, energy, and unusual purity. Coming up on a decade, this bottle is at a lovely point: still vibrant but with secondary aromatics beginning to emerge. Reach for an evening that calls for something extraordinary.
