Domaine Sylvain Cathiard et Fils is a prestigious family-owned winery in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, known for its premium Pinot Noir wines. Founded in the 1930s by Sylvain's grandfather, the domaine has evolved through three generations. Sylvain Cathiard significantly elevated the winery's reputation in the 1990s, and his son Sébastien, who joined in 2006, has further enhanced its status. The domaine manages about 5.5 hectares of vineyards across Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-St-Georges, and Chambolle-Musigny, including small parcels in grand cru sites like Romanée-St-Vivant. With meticulous vineyard management and a focus on quality, Sébastien has modernized winemaking practices while maintaining the domaine's reputation for producing some of Burgundy's most sought-after wines.
Offering up aromas of cherries and smoky berries, the 2022 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits is medium-bodied, lively and layered, attaining an impressive 13.6% natural alcohol, something that would have been unthinkable in this appellation only a decade ago.
The 2022 Bourgogne Rouge Hautes Côtes de Nuits comes from fruit from towards Comblanchien. Dark berry fruit on the nose commingles with light truffle scents. The palate is medium-bodied and quite powerful, with a light spiciness. It has perhaps the most opulent finish of the three Hautes-Côtes. Fine.
A more complex nose features notes of violet, anise and red and dark currant scents. The succulent yet nicely detailed flavors possess a subtle minerality that becomes more apparent on the youthfully austere and balanced finale that could use better depth.
