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-Romanรฉe 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
"An ultra-fresh and equally spicy nose reflects mostly notes of various red berries with more earth influence. The lilting and elegant middleweight flavors possess a really lovely mouthfeel thanks to the dense but fine-grained tannins supporting the balanced and youthfully austere finale. Once again I would advise allowing at least 5 to 7 years of keeping first." -Allen Meadows

"The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Thorey 1er Cru is a worthy follow-up to Cathiard's over-achieving 2021. Thereโ€™s fabulous delineation on the nose; this blossoms in the glass with vivacious red fruit laced with minerals - aromatics that positively sparkle. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins. It is full of tension with superb weight and depth on the graphite-tinged finish. This seriously fine Aux Thorey is destined for long-term aging." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 92
"The 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Thorey is quite powerful, bursting with aromas of cherries, berries and plums mingled with peony and smoke. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's rich and layered, with broad shoulders and a youthfully chewy finish." -William Kelley
