What is this wine?
Domaine Sylvain Cathiard, now guided by Sébastien Cathiard, is one of Burgundy’s most coveted domaines, producing some of the most seductive and sought-after Pinot Noirs in the Côte de Nuits. Aux Reignots is a steep, limestone-rich premier cru that sits just above Romanée-Conti itself, making it one of Vosne-Romanée’s most hallowed vineyards. The 2018 vintage was marked by warmth and generosity, producing ripe, concentrated wines with richness balanced by freshness and structure.

Why get this wine?
Cathiard’s wines are nearly impossible to acquire, and Aux Reignots is one of his crown jewels—often spoken of as “grand cru in all but name.” The 2018 vintage amplifies the cru’s natural power while retaining Vosne’s hallmark perfume and finesse. For collectors, this is an extremely rare bottle that represents Cathiard at the height of his craft.

What does this wine taste like?
Red and black cherry, raspberry, and plum with rose petal, exotic spice, and Vosne’s silken minerality. Concentrated yet elegant, with fine-grained tannins, bright acidity, and a long, perfumed finish.

When should you drink this wine?
Best 2026–2045. Decant young bottles to fully release its aromatics. Ideal with refined dishes like roast duck, venison, or truffle risotto.

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

"A strikingly spicy nose speaks of sandalwood, anise, violet and a hint of hoisin on the plum and black cherry-scented nose. The gorgeously textured and quite finely delineated middle weight flavors brim with minerality on the dusty, serious and built-to-age finish. This beauty will also benefit substantially from extended forbearance." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 93
"The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Aux Reignots 1er Cru possesses a very harmonious, understated bouquet that gradually unfurls to reveal enticing black cherry, raspberry and crushed stone aromas, later becoming more floral in style but always retaining a sense of control. The palate is extremely precise and very smooth. Perhaps this is the one cuvée from Cathiard where slightly earlier picking might have engendered more precision on the finish, which flirts with exotic notes, pulling back just in time. One for those who like a flamboyant Vosne-Romanée." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 94
"The 2018 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots soars from the glass with scents of ripe wild berries, orange rind, burning embers, peonies and rich soil tones. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with an open-knit and expressive core of fruit, framed by melting tannins and juicy acids. As usual, this is one of the most charming wines in the cellar." -William Kelley
