Les Suchots
Les Suchots is a climat of Vosne-Romanée officially recognized among the designations that can accompany the Premier Cru mention. It is located to the north of Romanée-Saint-Vivant and Richebourg, bordering Les Échezeaux, in a sector of the hillside exposed mainly to the east, locally to the south-east. Descriptions dedicated to the climat point to clay-limestone or reddish-brown, stony soils resting on limestone and marly materials; Oligocene conglomeratic deposits are also observed. A talweg and a soil thickness gradient introduce a certain internal heterogeneity.

Histoire de la parcelle
Viticulture has been attested in Vosne-Romanée since the Middle Ages, notably under the influence of the Abbey of Saint-Vivant. The Vosne-Romanée AOC was recognized in 1936 and the list of its climats eligible for the Premier Cru mention, including Les Suchots, in 1943, based on 19th-century wine-growing classifications. The name preserves the possible memory of former clearing and grubbing, but a topographical origin meaning "hill" is also advocated.
