Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots Boigey Frères 2023

La «cuvée»

According to Gaston Roupnel, ‘Burgundy has done nothing better than this little spot where it has gathered its enchantments’. This is how he describes the fabulous terroir of Vosne-Romanée. Domaine Boigey lovingly nurtures these exceptional soils to reveal the most sublime expression of the Pinot Noir grape variety. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted in the vineyard before being transported to the winery for traditional vinification. In the winery, vinification involves minimal intervention and sulphur is used in minute quantities.
The purplish tints reveal a concentrated bouquet of intense cherry and strawberry aromas combined with subtle hints of liquorice and undergrowth. The fleshy, rich mouthfeel affirms the expressive aromas of the nose in a powerful, tannic structure, leading to a beautiful persistent finish. This cuvée can be cellared for several years to develop its full potential.

This conveniently located estate in Vosne-Romanée was founded in 2017 by Olivier and Guillaume Boigey, two brothers who took over the formerly leased out family vineyard. Just a stone’s throw from Domaine Romanée Conti, the estate consists of over three hectares of vines, stretching across the emblematic communes of Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Echezeaux, including two village appellations, three Premiers Crus and one Grand Cru. The brothers have adopted sustainable viticulture methods to perpetuate the family tradition, convinced of the benefits it has for the fruit and the wine. In the vineyard, all treatments are organic. The estate is in the process of obtaining its High Environmental Value certification. While the estate, which produces its first vintage in 2019, currently only makes red wines, a few plots of Chardonnay vines have been planted. Rising stars of the region, the pair are major players of the Côte de Nuits, prioritising the quality of the terroir and the fruit, and producing only limited quantities of wine, through environmentally friendly viticulture and vinification methods.
