Domaine Confuron Cotetidot, Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru, Les Suchots

PNP and tasted over an hour or so during a Paulee. My last bottle, but so enjoyable. Fully mature, dark blue and black fruits, the elegance and minerals of a well-made '93. Rally nice. A-

1993 vintage

Very ripe fruit that's black in tone, like black plums and licorice, with spice and a peppery stem influence. Medium weight with lots of fine, drying tannin with which the spicy black fruit fights for influence. An odd combo of high ripeness with austere winemaking. Needs food and/or more time, but I'm not sure this has the concentration and density to outlast the tannins.

2012 vintage

Ikke dekantert. Stram, lite frukt, syre dominerer. Ikke noe galt med det, men hadde håpa på noe annet. Samme dag 2. Oh well.

2012 vintage

Still not at full maturity, but has opened some since the previous bottle. Strawberries and other red fruits, and Suchots earthiness, medium-wight, good acidity and freshness. Drinks well now, but still some tannin to resolve. Cellared since original release. 92 today, potential for 94-95.

2013 vintage

Epure, Hong Kong. Very typical of the 2013 vintage with red fruit profile, elevated acidity and great florality. This opens very tannic in a profile not too dissimilar from a Nebbiolo. Balance improves markedly with airing and there is good 1er Cru level of flavour complexity. It is a good drink though it lacks a bit of oomph, truly fluorescent or zingy fruit to make it into my 2013 pantheon e.g. Bize Latricieres or the entire Fourrier line-up. This is …

2013 vintage

Light and enjoyable for its red fruits but seemed advanced for ten years on and showed surprisingly little Suchots character. Cellared since original release.

2013 vintage

PNP. Fully mature, if not slightly past its prime, but drinks well out of the bottle with dark fruits, some nice secondaries on the nose and palate, and a nice finish with not tanning (shocking for this producer). Very nice but drink now. B+/A-

1993 vintage

Un vin délicat, avec une belle fraîcheur, qui montre un magnifique potentiel. Mais à laisser en cave encore quelques années pour laisser se développer ses arômes secondaires et gommer quelques marques d'astringence.

2012 vintage

4 hour slow ox - not sure needed but it did work out fine. Fully mature, lovely wine that has that cool 1993 fruit but is well put together and a nice finish with all the tannins fully resolved. I very much enjoy this wine and hope my younger Confuron-Coteditot Suchots shed their rustic side and age like this one...A-

1993 vintage

Red fruits, earth and nutmeg on the nose. On the palate, red fruits and good Vosne spice, light to medium bodied with supple texture. It's getting lean and probably on the decline, think this would have been better maybe 5 years ago. Looks like the previous bottle was the outlier.

1993 vintage

Pretty bad showing hence no rating. The color is very brown, little flavor or life left…drinkable but not worth drinking.

2006 vintage

Definitely too early for drinking, not properly tertiary yet. If you enjoy stronger primary notes and grippy tannins, feel free to pop now.

2013 vintage

Je m'attendais à plus. Plus de caractère, plus de personnalité, plus de choses à dire sur ce vin, qui n'a commencé à devenir intéressant qu'apres avoir été carafé au dernier moment, alors que j'espèrais que ce ne soit pas necessaire.

2012 vintage

Lovely tertiary notes of earth, forest floor and dark fruits. Medium bodied, complex flavour profile of earth, dark fruits, baking spices, harmonious, balanced and persistent. Still going strong at 29 years of age. The acidity in this bottle was far better integrated than the previous bottle. Wine remains strong even 4 hours after opening.

1993 vintage

Garnet in color with a nose like a bouquet of violets, licorice was prominent with black cherry, black currant, strawberry and red plum notes. The palate started off silky on the attack followed by a savory mid-palate with the licorice notes and darker red and some black fruit coming through . Medium+ acidity, med tannins, med body. I just wanted to sip and explore this wine with the lamb chops I made. I think this still has a few years …

2012 vintage

Second bottle of this in two years. Classic Burgundy aromatics that leap out of the bottle when you draw the cork - sous bois, red fruits, decaying leaves. The acid profile is overtaking things a bit on the palate, under the pronounced acid spine there's some cloves, Chinese five spice, and red fruits. First bottle last year the acid line was less prominent. At this stage, it's coming down to the old adage of no fine wines, only fine bottles. …

1993 vintage

Takes an hour to open up. Bouquet was fantastic for a burgundy

2012 vintage

Wine swap night Burg theme. Tasted blind. Drank in Conterno Sensory. Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of menthol, herbal stems, purple fruits, dark red cherries, spices, salty minerality with more air. Developing. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), chewy medium+ tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of dark red cherries, red plums, purple fruit, menthol herbs, sweet spices, salty minerality. Long finish. Very good quality. …

2013 vintage

Very nice but QPR is tough at $100. 13%

2013 vintage

A robe of rusty red, see-through silk. On the nose, it’s cherries, blackberry, fruit caramel. Secondary notes include, on one hand, butter sautéed fruits, and on the other - fresh moist grass, sea breeze, herbs, wormwood even. On the mouth, it’s medium-high acidity and high tannins. Aggressive. This wine doesn’t try to be likeable, yet it fails not to impress. Red berries, leather, some juniper. A hint of bitterness makes for an elegant taste.

2013 vintage

Very inviting colour, just faded enough to suggest some age but still deep enough red to expect vibrancy. Spicy nose with red fruit. Palate is all about balance with tannins more or less resolved, good mid palate leading to a decent finish. Again, all in harmony. Drinking well now and I would not wait. I do not think this is getting any better.

2006 vintage

As a winenerd you cannot only corvine the whole night! So pnp this lonely bottle, boah...., hey it is VR 1er! Meaty and earthy nose, black fruit in the background, clearly a great Bourgogne for me, with some slow ox begins to open, showing a basket full of aromas, silky boysenberry, strong morel, enormous tension on the mid palate, deep and juicy rich, want to take a bath in it! **(**-*****), 93-95

2012 vintage

What a surprise. This should have been done and dusted, but it was still drinking superbly. Loads of sous bois tertiary aromas, still nice juicy acidity, gorgeous depth of cherry and red fruit. This producer never lets me down. Excellent stuff.

1993 vintage

Ripe black cherry and plum with black pepper, licorice and dark chocolate. A bit of a bruiser for Vosne 1er Cru, the tannins are still quite pronounced, but the volume is there as well. This has very good potential, but was just short of showing its full potential yet tonight. Certainly 91+ point potential, at least 2022 forward.

2012 vintage

Absolutamente impenetrável. Mudo

2006 vintage

Burgundy Tasting-Mostly 2014 Whites and Reds (The Wine Club, San Francisco) : Dull ruby. Menthol and char on the nose. Medium body with some sap giving a nice feel that is lightly woody. Soil, subdued red fruit, overall somewhat green impression, quite tannic. Middling quality for Suchots.

2013 vintage

Very black and impenetrable today; cassis, dark cherry, licorice, violet, pepper come through, followed by very dark, black pinot fruit. Surprisingly tannic (even for the vintage) given the appellation. Try again in 10 years.

2013 vintage

old school winemaking but great purity concentrated big density in the mouth saving the rest should become special.

2012 vintage

Aromatically pretty closed, but some notes of the typical Vosne spices, flowers and some dark berry fruit. Medium-full bodied, dense with medium+ acidiy and medium-high tannin. Good length. At the moment it's more about texture than aromatics, but I'm sure this will open up nicely in a few years. For now I would try to pace myself though... lots of potential. (93-95)

2012 vintage

Floral nose, bit of dried roses and remains of spice. Feels mature but still fresh - would drink now. Not very long, but good body, everything holding nicely together

1993 vintage

Manca dell' esplosività aromatica della vinificazione con i raspi e delle spezie floreali del Suchots. Medio corpo, non un mostro di estrazione, buona acidità corroborante, ma il legno è ancora troppo in evidenza e si materializza più come terrosità graffiante e truciolosa, piuttosto che come dolcezza torrefatta. Peccato perchè questo lo rende un vino anonimo che non parla della vigna da cui proviene, potrebbe essere un barolo, un sangiovese o un merlot. Per fortuna che negli ultimi 3-4 anni Jacky …

2006 vintage

Purple in colour. Very attractive on the nose. Big in the mouth, with some serious chewy tannins. This will be one for the long haul, somewhat unusual for this vintage.

2013 vintage

Pop and pour from a bottle that 2 glasses were Coravin'd from two weeks earlier. Great nose of cranberries and Asian spice. Very tight upon initial opening. Very intense with a lot of concentration. This should be amazing in a decade or so.

2012 vintage

Infanticide, waaaaaay too young. Nose floral and aromatic but the palate was muted. It did, however, reflect that there was a future but not today. I won't grade since it would be grossly unfair but if I was grading potential it would be 90-91. There is some left and if it improves or evolves tomorrow I will report accordingly.

2012 vintage

A little earthier than the villages, smells of whole bunches, note of stems; good matter though not perhaps the ripest fruit. Nice weight and density. Not bitter. Quite tannic.

2013 vintage

Complexe et surprenant rose séchée épice et fruit mûre

2006 vintage

deep purple in colour. wild strawberry and raspberry on the nose. buy this wine for the nose alone! gorgeous.

2012 vintage

MGnifique nez de rose de cerise de fruit rouge et de sous bois bouche un peu en dessa

2006 vintage

At the beginning, closed. After one hour, showed interesting flavors. In the mouth, bit engaging or persistent. Maybe young. I'll wait another five years for a drink the next bottle

2006 vintage

This is very good and spicy elegant Vosne. Maybe a tad shorter than I remembered it to be.

2006 vintage

Sweet red fruit. Raspberry and violets. Quite elegant but maybe without the depth and sensuality I expected. I have had this wine before and remembered it to be more special.

2006 vintage

Vin incroyablement fin. Nez de rose de figue de framboise de sous bois. Un vrais parfum! Bouche équilibrée et d'une grande finesse. Belle longer avec des tannin fin et integre 2h en caraphe un vrais plus!

2006 vintage

a bit hard and lacking fruit. astringent tannins.

2004 vintage

Joli nez de rose. Ce vin pinotte et est une vrais parfumerie Boucche longue et minérale mais pas encore évoluée. Acidité un peu forte mais agréable. Une belle bouteille

2006 vintage

Colour shows the age with lots of bricking. Long deep chambolle like on the nose with a long sweet core but still very much alive. 91

1993 vintage

Subtle, deep and intense, with a heavenly, decadent, exotic topnote; dry-ish but ripe fruit; fire, velvet and iron, hint of herbaceousness, tannic and fresh, earth and minerals, tension and length. Drink 2012 - 2020. At The Hand and Flowers *, Marlow, UK

2004 vintage

BT

2006 vintage

From cask: Fairly pale blood/ruby. Fresh and pefumed nose : nice fruit and minerality. Classy, but rather slight. Sweet and easy mouth entry. Good structure and balance. Decent finish. 3

2006 vintage

Tasted at The Sampler. Incredibly vegetal, turnipy, nose that calmed down a bit with time in the glass. Still showed pinot character, but mostly just a bit odd and not particularly pleasant.
