Left Sustainably Farmed

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 89
"Here too the nose is firmly reduced and unreadable. Again though there is good freshness and vibrancy to the slightly bigger flavors that are underpinned by slightly finer grained tannins on the mildly austere and slightly firmer finish. This should be lovely." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 89
"The 2017 Bourgogne Rouge has a perfumed bouquet of candied red cherries and orange blossom aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, gentle grip and a detailed, quite minerally finish. Excellent." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 89
"Cathaird's lovely 2017 Bourgogne Rouge bursts from the glass with an expressive nose of raspberries, red plums and flowers. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, supple and succulent, with melting tannins and a generous core of fruit." -William Kelley
