Left Sylvain Cathiard

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 91-94
"Firm reduction pushes the underlying fruit to the background though discreet spice elements are still appreciable. The racy and intense middle weight plus flavors also brim with minerality on the chiseled finish that is intensely saline in character, all wrapped in a beautifully complex finish that goes on and on. This is restrained but exceptionally classy."

Robert Parker

RP 93-95
"The 2018 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru En Orveaux is a magical wine in the making, wafting from he glass with a profound bouquet of cherries, licorice, exotic spices, rich soil tones and orange rind. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, multidimensional and muscular, with a deep and concentrated score, rich and powdery tannins and a long, succulent finish."

Decanter

D 97
"Picked last by Sébastien Cathiard in most vintages, including 2018, this parcel of 70-year-old vines faces north east and is cooled by air currents from the Combe d'Orveaux. It's a very graceful, delicate wine that wouldn't look out of place in nearby Chambolle-Musigny: taut, floral and beautifully defined with chalky minerality, filigree tannins and crunchy black cherry flavours."
