2009 Jean-Marc Millot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots

Overview:
The ebullient Alix Millot has been making the wines in succession to her father Jean-Marc since 2016, though he is still very much in evidence in a supporting role. Alix is one of the young Burgundians born in the late 1980s who are providing a dynamic resurgence to an already flourishing Burgundy.

The Vosne Romanée Premier Cru “Les Suchots” has velvet tannins. The wine is very strong in its finesse and length. Its color is a dark and deep ruby. It respects in all ways the codes of Pinot Noir by remaining on the red fruit with fine tannins. It has all the seriousness of the Grands Crus that surround Millot.

Allen Meadows, Burghound
A spicy red and black berry fruit nose where the spice component is picked up on the supple, forward and fresh light to medium weight flavors supported by buried tannins and fine length on the linear and detailed finish. This is very much in the Millot style, which is lighter but focused wines that deliver real flavor impact.
