Vinous, Servants of the Seasons: Burgundy 2021 (Jan 2023) (1/1/2023)
(Domaine de l'Arlot Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru Red) "The 2021 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru is quite backward on the nose, maybe just missing a little joie-de-vivre at the moment, a bit "sulky" compared to other crus from the Domaine. The palate is much more expressive: edgy red berry fruit, a lovely touch of white pepper and thyme, in fact, you could imagine there being 10-20% stems when in fact, there are none. Persistent on the finish, this Suchots seems to be intending on biding its time. (Drink between 2024-2042)  (92-94) points"

Decanter, Burgundy 2021 en primeur (11/1/2022)
(Domaine de l’Arlot, Pinot Noir / Pinot Nero, Vosne-Romanée, 1er Cru Les Suchots, Burgundy, France, Red) "The first impression is of ripe, plummy fruit with a plentiful nuance of earth, leather, and spice. If the aromas are marked at present with reduction, this will disappear with racking. The texture is ripe and lush, with balanced acidity, supple yet firm tannins, and a finish of impressive length. Winemaker Geraldine Godot vinifies the wine with a significant inclusion of whole clusters, as has traditionally been the style at l’Arlot. The 0.85-hectare plot of Suchots is located up the slope from Dujac. (Drink between 2027-2045)" 92 points

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 2021 Côte de Nuits South: Vosne-Romanée to Nuits-St-Georges (11/1/2022)
(Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru, Domaine de l'Arlot, Red) "A little deeper in crimson colouring, and certainly the cleanest bouquet to date. This is lively, a little orange blossom in with cherry and strawberry notes, middleweight but with persistence, this will make an attractive Suchots for the medium term. Drink from 2027-2033."  91-94 points
