Domaine Robert Arnoux Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 2005 is a 1er Cru Burgundy Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits. The domaine is managed by Pascal Lachaux. Organic and biodynamic farming practices are applied in the vineyards. In the cellar, typically Pascal prefers wholly destemmed grapes. Maturation of the domaine`s 1er Cru wines is in up to 60% new oak. The climat of Les Suchots is the largest in the appellation and separates the Grands Crus of Echézeaux and Romanée-Saint-Vivant. It is considered by many aficionados to be a `superior` 1er Cru. "Opening in the glass with a rich bouquet of grilled meats, ripe berry fruit, cassis, rich soil tones and spice, framed by a touch of new oak, the 2005 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots is medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, with an ample core of fruit, melting tannins and ripe acids, concluding with a long, vanillin-inflected finish." Wine Advocate, 2020. NB. in 2008 this domaine changed its name to Arnoux-Lachaux.
