2022 Jerome Chezeaux, Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru, Les Suchots

The 2022 Jerome Chezeaux Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru Les Suchots embodies a pure expression of Pinot Noir from a vineyard often recognized as an "unofficial" Grand Cru due to its deep clay soils and esteemed location adjacent to legendary sites like Romanée-Saint-Vivant. Domaine Chezeaux meticulously employs a "lutte raisonnée" approach in the vineyard and a non-interventionist philosophy in the cellar, allowing the terroir to speak authentically. The 2022 vintage, marked by a warm yet balanced growing season with crucial June rainfall, yielded ripe, expressive fruit while maintaining impressive freshness and elegant structure. This results in a wine celebrated for its profound reflection of Vosne-Romanée's characteristic Asian spice and sensual depth, marrying concentration with a graceful, long-lasting texture.
