Cathiard is a tiny domain - there never is very much wine. You enter a spick and span white stucco suburban home in the center of the small village of Vosne Romanee. There is a walled vineyard outside the front door. Go down the staircase and you are in a minuscule cuverie and barrel room. Not a lot of barrels here either. No wonder the wine is sold in 6 bottle cases.

Sebastien Cathiard has been slowly assuming control of this top estate in Vosne-Romanée from his father Sylvain. He is now fully in charge, but the wines have been so good for so long that he wisely has changed very little. They continue to farm meticulously, de-stem and rigorously sort all the fruit prior to fermentation. The only thing he has changed is the gradual reduction of new oak, seeking a bit more purity of terroir expression.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 92
"A still relatively primary complex, ripe and very spicy nose offers up a mélange of red and dark currant with hints of exotic herbal tea notes that float in the background. There is a wonderfully refined mouthfeel to the cool and restrained middle weight flavors that are shaped by firm but fine tannins that contribute to the silky and caressing texture of the well-balanced and persistent finale. Lovely juice and well worth considering." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 95
"The 2013 Vosne-Romanée En Orveaux is a decidedly powerful, muscular wine. Dark red cherry, plum, spice, new leather and menthol are some of the many notes that take shape as this virile Burgundy shows off its compelling beauty and personality. Simply put, the En Orveaux is a wine of considerable potential. Readers who can find it should not hesitate." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 95
"The 2013 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru en Orveaux, raised in two-thirds new oak, has a succinct and complex bouquet with perhaps more mineralité than the Aux Reignots. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit. There is certainly good weight in the mouth here, plus a sense of symmetry toward the long, silky finish. This is a classy, sophisticated Vosne-Romanée that punches well above its weight - an outstanding success for Sebastien Cathiard." -Neal Martin
