The Confuron brothers are the kings of Suchots, with more vineyards here than anyone else. They farm four parcels in different parts of the vineyard, both 'Grand Suchots' on the Echézeaux side and the portion downslope on the Romanée-Saint-Vivant side of the vineyard. The average age of the vines is 65 years. The grapes are picked late and fermented as whole clusters to deliver this robust wine with ripe cassis and fig fruit and smoke, earth, and menthol notes. The structure is powerful, tannic, and long. This is a Suchots almost at the level of a grand cru. (Drink between 2035-2065). 95 Points
