Hudelot-Noëllat Vosne-Romanée 1er cru Les Suchots 2022

97 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "This exquisite wine has intense red and black fruit aromas with a floral edge and an almost salty savoury intensity. The texture is silky but tightly wound. It is commonly thought that the upper part of Suchots is superior, but this version gives that idea the lie. Here, the 100-year-old vines in the domaine's 0.45-hectare parcel make the wine special, along with Van Caneyt's very able winemaking. This wine should open well in three to five years and will undoubtedly last another 40 (at least) beyond that. Drinking Window: 2035-2065. (Nov 2023)"

96 points La Revue du Vin de France: "The sumptuous Vosne Les Suchots is distinguished by its powdery, fuller texture and extremely silky tannins: a delicate, dazzling wine. (2025)"

95 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "Cherry cobbler and vanilla bean notes pop on the nose. The palate is plush with magnanimous layers of fruit. Curvaceous tannins sculpt the dense mid-palate extract as the wine heads into a sassy, mouthwatering finish. Crushed slate minerality and a hint of new leather pop up on the finale. The clay-rich soil here surely helped these vines survive the year's stressing conditions more easily. (Jan 2024)"

93-95 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2022 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots is one of the highlights of the range this year. Wafting from the glass with aromas of plums, cassis, orange zest and exotic spices and framed by a deft application of new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, concentrated and multidimensional, with terrific depth, velvety tannins and a long, broad finish. (1/18/24)"

92-94 points/'Sweet spot' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "Once again the nose is wonderfully fresh and even spicier with its aromas of poached plum and liqueur-like dark pinot fruit that is also tinged with exotic tea wisps. There is noticeably better density to the caressing and seductively textured yet decided powerful flavors that brim with dry extract before concluding in a moderately austere and hugely long finale. This too is quite compact and very much built to repay extended keeping. Drink: 2034+. (Jan 2024)"

91-94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "A distinguished crimson purple. The oak is a little more apparent, and the fruit a riper, fleshier raspberry. Oak continues to take a hand but the fruit stays with it. Lower acidity in the Suchots, at least by taste. (Nov 2023)"
