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

Antonio Galloni

AG 91
"The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Clos de l’Orme, matured in 50% new oak, has an elegant, expressive bouquet of raspberry, wild strawberry and sous-bois aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip, and quite tight at the moment, perhaps just needing a little flesh to come through on the finish." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 92
"The 2017 Chambolle Musigny Clos de l'Orme wafts from the glass with aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries, pomegranate and rose petals, deftly framed with a judicious touch of new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, with superb concentration and a fleshy but crystalline core of fruit that's striking for its purity and lift, concluding with a long finish." -William Kelley

Decanter

D 94
"Sébastien Cathiard's only vineyard in Chambolle always produces one of his most charming, scented wines. Sourced from a 0.43ha block, this is aged in 50% new wood and is a joyous expression of youthful Pinot fruit that tasted good straight out of the barrel. It has fine tannins, aromatic oak and caressing layers of raspberry and wild strawberry fruit on the palate."
