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 93
"In much the same fashion as the Aux Thorey the red berry fruit suffused nose is cool, pure and restrained but even spicier. The mouthfeel of the tension-filled medium weight flavors is ultra-elegant while exhibiting ample minerality on the impeccably well-balanced and sneaky long finish. This is a classic Reignots of class and grace." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 93
"The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Aux Reignots 1er Cru comes from relatively young vines, now just over 20 years old (which is why Sébastien Cathiard served it before the En Orveaux). It has a simple but focused bouquet of blackberry and briary aromas. The palate is very well balanced, quite grippy and sappy in the mouth, leading to a sweet, anise-tinged finish that lingers. Very fine, but not the most cerebral cuvée from Cathiard this year." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 93
"The 2017 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots offers up aromas of strawberries, raspberries, rose petals, spices and dark chocolate, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny palate that stands out as one of the most elegant cuvées in the Cathiard cellar, its fruit pure and succulent, its finish long and melting. The vines here are twenty-one years old, but while the Reignots isn't the deepest wine in the range it's among the most charming." -William Kelley
