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 94
"A more expressive nose is also exceptionally fresh and cool while offering a lovely blend of spicy red and blue pinot fruit that is cut with ample floral elements. The vibrant, intense and chiseled medium weight flavors also exude plenty of minerality on the saline, balanced and strikingly persistent finish. Once again there is terrific depth though this is even more firmly structured and overall this is a wine that's going to require some discipline to allow it at least 6 to 8 years of bottle age." -Allen Meadows

"The 2016 Vosne-Romanée En Orveaux 1er Cru has a seductive, very floral nose with iris and peony suffusing the pretty black cherry and red plum fruit, hints of pain d’épices surfacing with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, lightly spiced and quite minty towards what feels like an assertive finish. Very classy, yet it is only just beginning to unfurl." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 94
"The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru En Orveaux, matured in 60% new oak, has a gorgeous bouquet of vibrant maraschino cherry, crushed strawberry, wet limestone and light violets scents that unfold nicely in the glass. The palate is very clean and precise, smooth in texture, but the core of this wine is the inner sphere of sorbet freshness that counters the quite correct structure on the finish that is almost Morey-Saint-Denis in style. This could be the “dark horse” from Cathiard this year? It is equal to the Aux Reignots for sure." -Neal Martin
