Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots 2019

Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots 2019 is a high-end red Burgundy, made from Pinot Noir from one of the most respected Premier Cru plots in Vosne-Romanée, located right next to the iconic Grands Crus Échezeaux and Romanée-Saint-Vivant.

The Confurons, Yves, Jean-Pierre and patriarch Jacky, are the current generations of a very old Burgundy family, with mentions of the family even at the court of Louis XIV. The Domaine is run by Yves and Jean-Pierre, though its soul is Yves, who splits his time with Domaine de Courcel in Pommard. The family is very close and father Jacky always helps when he can. Several qualities make this producer special. First, unlike most Burgundy producers, Yves picks much later, waiting for the Pinot Noir to be fully ripe, and vinifies with 100% stems, seeking freshness and finesse. Second, a purist philosophy, with no interventions that harm the vineyard or grapes, combined with almost obsessive rigour. The result is great wines that may at first seem "too" juicy, but after half a dozen years become masterly. As a curiosity, and as no other family has this honour, there's a variety of Pinot Noir in Burgundy called Pinot Confuron.
