The 2017's by Sylvain Cathiard show a mature winemaking style with a more balanced oak integration. The En Orveaux cuvee is from meticulously farmed 70 year old vines.

Left Village Burgundy

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
"A more deeply pitched if just as spicy aromatic combination consists of ripe plum, dark currant and violet scents. As is typically the case, the medium-bodied flavors possess both a bit more volume and certainly more richness if perhaps not quite the same level of minerality on the austere, serious and impressively persistent finale. This isn't as refined as the Reignots but it's more powerful."

Antonio Galloni

AG 94
"The 2017 Vosne-Romanée En Orveaux comes from 75-year-old vines from massal selection that tend to suffer millerandage that enhances air circulation around the bunches. Matured in 50% new oak, it has a fragrant mixture of red and blue fruit on the very floral nose: scents of pressed violets waft up from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, and there is a palpable marine influence, shucked oyster shells permeating the red fruit toward quite a feisty finish. Superb." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 94
"The 2017 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru En Orveaux delivers a superb bouquet of cassis, wild damson, grilled squab, sweet soil tones, licorice and exotic spices. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and concentrated, with a lavish core of old vine fruit, succulent acids, and fine-grained structuring tannins, concluding with a long and dramatic finish. This cuvée, from seventy-year-old vines, is the insiders' choice for chez Cathiard this year." -William Kelley

Decanter

D 96
"Badly hit by frost in 2016 but back to normal yields in 2017, this 75-year-old 0.3ha parcel is so special that it's the source of the domaine's massal selections. Bright, lively and refreshing, this wine really shows the influence of the nearby combe. It's floral and sweet, with tobacco and Asian spices, a lovely texture and beautifully integrated wood, 55% new."
