2007 Bouchard Père et Fils, Vosne-Romanée 1er Les Suchots
Well, what a gorgeous welcome this wine offered! Medium-plus coloured with a depth of faint spice and warm fruit – ‘drink me’ the label could have said! Round, sweet and supple with a fine supporting acidity. The texture has just a hint of cushioning and there’s certainly a bit of 1er cru dimension in the mid-palate. The finish becomes stricter and more stony – good, I don’t want everything too welcoming and friendly. A 2007 that will amply repay opening right away. Drink Me indeed!
Rebuy – Yes
