Description

Domaine Sylvain Cathiard is one of Burgundy's most revered and highly sought-after producers, renowned for crafting Pinot Noir wines of exceptional purity, elegance, and intensity. Based in the heart of Vosne-Romanée, the family-owned estate was established in the 1930s by Sylvain's grandfather, who worked at prestigious domaines like Romanée-Conti and Lamarche. Sylvain took over in 1985 and, since 2011, his son Sébastien has run the 5-hectare domaine, further elevating its reputation and refining the winemaking style.

Review
More ruby than crimson. The fruit is a little more restrained, but perhaps fresher than the Thorey, more in raspberry and cherry. This continues on a well-rounded palate with just a little youthful bitterness to add a level of tension. Will take a little longer to come round. Drink from 2031-2038.

Tasting Profile
nose

The aroma is captivating and layered, revealing dark cherry, black raspberry and wild strawberry alongside rose petal, spice, forest floor and a hint of truffle.

palate

The palate is silky and expansive, with supple tannins and impeccable balance. Concentrated yet graceful, it unfolds in waves of red fruit, spice and savoury mineral notes, finishing long, pure and hauntingly aromatic.
