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.Inc.

A pretty and softly spicy array is composed mainly by plum and dark cherry scents. There is good energy and freshness to the well-delineated middle weight flavors that possess a succulent mid-palate while offering reasonably good complexity on the persistent finish.

As I predicted from barrel, the 2017 Vosne-Romanée Village has the edge over its Chambolle counterpart this year, exhibiting a deep bouquet of wild berries, smoked duck, spices and creamy new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with a textural attack and good depth at the core, built around powdery tannins and lively acids.Inc. VAT£119.99 -

Vinous (88-90)
The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Village has quite a high-toned bouquet, though it maintains control, with macerated black cherries, bilberry and violet scents. The palate is medium-bodied, quite firm in the mouth, a pleasant saline touch but it feels just a little hemmed in on the finish. That should loosen-up once its has completed its élevage.Inc. VAT£634.69 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-92)
A bright ruby purple. Like the Chambolle the bouquet is all about a primary energy. The Vosne is if anything a tad more precise. Also shows the oak a little more and an extra tannin. Backward, needs more elevage, but very promising. Drink from 2030-2036.Inc. VAT£127.73 -

More purple than ruby, with glycerol legs. Not much nose showing. A cool pure yet ripe dark red fruit, some strawberry, fills out the middle palate much more than the Chambolle, with excellent persistence Drink from 2028-2035. Tasted Nov 2024.Expected Price Range£486 - £594 -
(6x75cl) 2013Vinous (90)
Full, deep red. Musky redcurrant, iron and dusty spices on the nose. Suppler and sweeter than the Vosne villages but without quite that wine's cut and precision. The musky red fruit and spice flavors show very good breadth and depth, with the finish revealing serious tongue-dusting tannins. Supported by solid underlying minerality but this wine is surprisingly accessible already.Inc. VAT£707.52 -
(6x75cl) 2014Vinous (88-91)
Good bright, full red. Slightly reduced aromas of blackberry, licorice, spices and minerals. Plush and tactile in the mouth, offering a lovely combination of primary dark berry fruit and saline stony minerality. Finishes tannic and salty, with very good length. More Clos Vougeot than Chambolle-Musigny in style in 2014. From sandy soil over rock.Inc. VAT£853.92 -

The 2015 Vougeot 1er Cru Les Petits Vougeot reveals attractive aromas of Griotte cherry, rose petal, dried flowers and orange rind, with little to hint at the savory nuances to come with bottle age. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, sappy and transparent, its caressing, velvety attack segueing into a chalky mid-palate and finish. A very elegant rendition of this lovely climat below Les Amoureuses.Inc. VAT£922.32 -
Burghound (90-92)
An exuberantly expressive and spicy nose offers up a lovely mélange of pure red and dark cherry and floral aromas. The sleek, indeed satin-textured middle weight flavors brim with minerality on the super-saline infused finish. I really like the delineation and energy here plus the mid-palate concentration is better than usual. In 2016 this is very Chambollesque in character.Inc. VAT£1,102.32 -

Soft crimson. Juicy, sweet/sour ripe fruit and freshness. Chewy and full of fruit and avoiding over-ripeness. Deep and long. A wine to get your teeth into and should become more elegant with time.Inc. VAT£442.82 -

Intensely yellow in color, the 2014 Vouvray Clos du Bourg Demi-Sec offers a very clear, intense and aromatic bouquet of ripe yellow fruits along with crushed stone flavors. The Demi-Sec version is even more open than the Sec, and the attack on the palate is lovely, round and fruit-intense, but also very mineral and firmly structured in the finish. This is a very elegant and mouth-filling Chenin with great finesse and a lingering salinity. It has good and grippy length. This wine is dangerously accessible already, though with an aging potential of 20-30, probably more years. The 20 grams per liter of residual sugar tastes quite sweet at the moment.Inc. VAT£107.60 -

The 2015 Vouvray Clos du Bourg Demi-Sec displays a well defined and complex bouquet of ripe and concentrated fruits intertwined with chalky flavors. Dense and elegant on the palate, with a mouth-filling fruit and a perfect sweetness that counterbalances the raciness and firm mineral structure, this is a finesse-full and powerful Chenin with lots of salt and tension. A gorgeous, precise and vivacious wine with great aging potential.Inc. VAT£333.49 -

Aromas of honeysuckle, lime, peach and white plum. Moderately thick and sweet, but juicy and fresh, with enticing floral, peachy flavor. But I don't get the texture or complexity of noble rot. Attractive but rather one-dimensional today; perhaps time in bottle will bring greater nuance.Inc. VAT£1,727.21 -

The 2006 Vouvray Clos du Bourg Moelleux Première Trie is drinking beautifully today, offering a pure and ethereal bouquet of baked pear, smoke, spices, ripe orchard fruits, truffle and exotic nuances, all accented by a touch of reduction and minty lift with aeration. Full-bodied, ample and concentrated, it delivers an enveloping core of fruit supported by bright acidity and a finely textured phenolic mid-palate. The finish is long, fruity and seemingly endless. Clos du Bourg is often the most powerful and telluric expression in Huet’s cellar, and in this vintage, that character is on full and glorious display. Residual sugar: 62 grams per liter.Inc.

Notes of white truffle, spices, ripe orchard fruits and baked pear preface the 2018 Vouvray Clos du Bourg Moelleux Première Trie—a dense, concentrated and fleshy wine of impressive depth. Perfectly balanced, it is framed by bright acidity and a touch of gastronomic bitterness that adds tension and complexity. Saline and mineral on the long, focused finish, this is a superb rendition of one of Vouvray’s great terroirs. Residual sugar: 78 grams per liter.Inc. VAT£792.54 -

(for 500 ml.) Vivid gold. Wildly complex scents of yellow peach, nectarine, orange marmalade and candied flowers, with complicating honey and mineral qualities. Lush but penetrating citrus and pit fruit flavors boast remarkable depth and show unlikely elegance, with zesty citrus notes adding lift and clarity to the dense fruit. Nervy lime and pear notes resonate on the ridiculously long finish, which eventually leaves traces of lime zest, singed orange and honey behind. Offers an uncanny blend of richness and vivacity; this will have no problem outliving anybody reading this review but it's also pretty remarkable to drink now.Inc. VAT£1,004.56 -
Vinous (93)
Pale golden yellow. Unctuous bouquet of apple blossom, candied lemon, lanolin and clover. Creamy yet refined, with the apricot pit flavor retaining a juicy, mouthwatering freshness. Finishes strong and succulent, with tropical fruits and toasted almond. In this warm vintage, most of the beautiful concentration in this superb late-harvest chenin blanc was a result of desiccation of the grapes rather than botrytis.Inc. VAT£332.00 -

It might be delicate but the 2020 Le Haut-Lieu Moelleux is also rather succulent, coating the mouth with its sweet embrace. A combination of white flowers and nectarine creates an appealing perfume. There's a sense of energy that runs through the wine, providing a sense of direction and purpose. The core of sweetness (50–60g/L) doesn't tip over into lushness but is held together by its acidity and structure.Inc. VAT£374.81 -

There is a wealth of great French wine outside the ‘Big 4’ (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and Rhone). The Languedoc Roussillon with it’s herby, robust Mediterranean reds, Provence with its pale, vinous roses, Loire with its flinty Sauvignons, crunchy Cabernet Francs, and endlessly fascinating Chenins, Jura with its old fashioned curiosities… the list goes on. Tradition and terroir are the veins running through them all, making French wines still the most emulated in the world.
