Reviews Vinous "The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Village, matured in one-third new oak, has an opulent bouquet with dark cherries and crushed strawberry fruit, a touch of violet petal emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine boned tannins, quite sweet and lightly spiced, perhaps just a little confit-like towards the finish. Fine. (NM)" 89-92 points Burghound "Attractively layered aromas of poached plum, cassis, newly turned earth and a hint of leather introduce intense and appealingly textured medium weight flavors that are supported by relatively fine-grained tannins on the complex, lengthy and balanced finale. This is an excellent Nuits villages that should also amply reward mid-term cellaring. (AM)"

About Sylvain Cathiard

Renowned for crafting some of Burgundy's most exquisite red wines, Domaine Sylvain Cathiard operates on a relatively small scale. The estate spans just 4.2 hectares of vines, and its wines are scarce, especially in the US market, due to limited imports. This sense of rarity only heightens their allure among connoisseurs.

Today, Sebastian Cathiard, Sylvain's son, steers the estate's operations, imbuing each wine with meticulous care and a minimalist philosophy. This focus stems from his belief that wines should voice their terroir authentically. His training in various regions, including Chablis, Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte, and New Zealand, has honed his technique, which involves hand-sorting, complete destemming, and aging in primarily neutral oak barrels. These barrels, sourced from the finest Burgundy forests, contribute to the distinct, terroir-driven wines the Domaine is celebrated for.

The Domaine's vineyards, predominantly in Vosne-Romanee, stand out for their immaculate condition and include prestigious parcels in Aux Malconsorts, Reignots, and Romanee-Saint Vivant. These flagship wines are known for their unmatched depth of flavor and exceptional persistence, radiating youthful energy, purity of fruit, and elegant complexity. These wines offer a harmonious balance of silky tannins, fruit, and acidity, graced with rich aromas of red and black fruits and a subtle hint of spice.

Viniculture practices at Domaine Sylvain Cathiard encompass lutte raisonnée, a mostly organic, non-interventionist approach. The wines are produced without forced extraction or excess sweetness, resulting in a seamless blend of opulence, balance, and delicacy. In the words of wine critic Neal Martin, Cathiard's wines are "gloriously silky smooth, complex wines," showcasing "supreme definition and purity" that effortlessly capture the magic of terroir. The defining characteristic of Cathiard's wines is precision, striking an impeccable balance without a hint of discordance, marking them as reference standards of the region.
