Vosne-Romanée AOC 1er Cru Les Suchots 2021 Pierre Girardin

What kind of wine it is

Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots by Pierre Girardin is a red wine produced in Burgundy solely from Pinot Noir grapes. This label showcases an intrinsically elegant style, supported by a defined tannic structure that gives the wine great balance. Maturation in wood, combined with a period in inert containers, delivers a precise organoleptic profile that clearly expresses its deep connection to its homeland.

Where it comes from

This wine hails from the commune of Vosne-Romanée, located in the heart of the renowned Côte de Nuits in Burgundy. The vineyard of origin is the historic climat Les Suchots, recognized as a 1er Cru and renowned for its marked aptitude for viticulture. The uniqueness of the soils enhances the natural finesse of the grape variety and lends this interpretation remarkable aromatic detail and a deep gustatory expression, typical of selections from single plots.

How it is made

Production begins with a meticulous manual harvest of the grapes, followed by a winemaking process with a strong attention to detail. The maturation period lasts thirteen months in new oak barrels, a technical choice that enhances the wine’s structural definition. The final phase involves a three-month rest in steel, an essential step for harmonizing the components and preserving the wine’s expressive clarity before bottling.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it displays a vivid brilliant ruby red color, which anticipates an intense aromatic profile focused on delicate floral notes of rose, violet, and peony. On the palate, the entrance stands out for its geometric precision, evolving harmoniously with well-integrated tannins. The finish delivers a lingering sense of structural balance, skilfully pairing aromatic intensity and composure.

Food pairings

Its earthy and floral character makes it an ideal companion to dishes based on red meat and recipes enriched with mushrooms, ingredients that perfectly match the wine’s assertive tannins. It is equally suitable for accompanying game main courses, where the fresh aromas in the glass lighten the enveloping flavors of the meat. Embracing the local tradition, it highlights a savory boeuf bourguignon or a classic coq au vin, always ensuring the right harmony of flavors at the table.

When to serve it

This label is perfect for convivial dinners, when you want to bring a glass to the table that combines aromatic finesse with solid structure. It is an ideal choice for the entire meal, thanks to its natural ability to harmoniously match the intense flavors of main courses.
