John Gilman: 96 Points

Aurélien Suenen’s 2017 version of la Cocluette, from his old vine parcel in Oiry, is utterly brilliant in this vintage. The bouquet is pure, precise and already stunningly complex, wafting from the glass in a mix of pear, apple, limestone minerality, fresh almond, white flowers, citrus zest, a gentle touch of buttery oak and the first hints of the smokiness to come informing the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, crisp and very, very complex, with a rock solid core of fruit, superb mineral undertow, elegant mousse and a racy, seamlessly balanced and beautifully precise finish. This will demand cellaring time to blossom, but it is going to be a legend for many decades to come. (Drink between 2030-2075)
