Domaine Jérôme Chézeaux is a respected, family-run estate based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, at the core of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. Since taking over from his father in the 1990s, Jérôme Chézeaux has quietly built a reputation for crafting Pinot Noir that is both traditionally styled and transparently expressive of terroir. The domaine’s vineyards span several of the Côte’s most prestigious appellations, including holdings in Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, and Clos de Vougeot, all farmed with sustainable methods and vinified with minimal intervention to capture purity and site specificity.
The 2020 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru ‘Les Suchots’ is sourced from one of the appellation’s most esteemed Premier Cru vineyards, perfectly positioned between Richebourg and Romanée-Saint-Vivant. This parcel combines the elegance of the grands crus with a structure and intensity that speaks to its noble pedigree.
In the glass, the wine offers a seductive bouquet of wild raspberry, black cherry, rose petals, and exotic spice. Beneath the fruit lies a complex layer of sandalwood, forest floor, and crushed stone, characteristic of Vosne’s layered terroir. The palate is silky and seamless, with fine-grained tannins framing a core of red and black fruits, and a mineral tension that carries through a long, refined finish.
Poised and age-worthy, the 2020 ‘Les Suchots’ is a wine of power and finesse, embodying both the classic depth of Vosne-Romanée and the subtle, terroir-driven elegance for which Jérôme Chézeaux is known. A true collector’s wine, it will reward careful cellaring for 10–15 years and beyond, yet shows beautifully even in its relative youth with decanting.
