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 94
"Mild reduction shaves the top notes from the otherwise spicy dark berry fruit and sandalwood-scented nose. The mouth feel of the overtly stony middle weight flavors is notably finer though they don’t possess the same size, weight and power, all wrapped in a strikingly well-delineated and intensely saline-suffused finish that delivers sneaky good length. This is a first-rate example of Reignots." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 93
"Bright, dark red. Very ripe aromas of crushed blueberry and boysenberry are complicated by hints of black pepper, violet and spicy oak. A juicy, savory wine with lovely definition and inner-mouth energy; shows the saline minerality of the Aux Murgers as well as a bit more early sweetness. The tannins saturate the mouth but are suaver and less chewy than those of the Murgers. Finishes with terrific fruit-driven persistence. Made from the youngest vines of the estate (19 years old), this wine is more flatteur than the Murgers. Cathiard predicts that as these vines mature, his Reignots will become his second-best Vosne premier cru after Malconsorts." -Stephen Tanzer

Robert Parker

RP 94
"The 2015 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots has a gorgeous bouquet with mineral-rich red cherry, kirsch and strawberry fruit, quite open and expressive yet still beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, sorbet-fresh with hints of orange rind permeating the vibrant, fresh, tensile, almost tart red fruit, with a crisp and vivacious, animated finish. This barrel sample had so much energy that I almost asked Sebastien Cathiard for a leash. Electric!" -Neal Martin

Jancis Robinson

JR 16
"Not quite the exuberance of some wines at this address on the nose. A little subdued and very dry on the end – almost painfully dry."
