Aux Malconsorts sits right next to La Tâche—and in the hands of Sylvain Cathiard, it often comes breathtakingly close. In the heatwave vintage of 2003, this 1er Cru leans into its darker instincts, delivering a wine that’s plush, concentrated, and deeply Vosne in character.

Ripe black cherry, plum compote, exotic spice, and dark florals lead the charge, with undertones of sandalwood, truffle, and just a whisper of Vosne’s signature incense. The tannins, once muscular in youth, have softened into velvet, and the wine now moves with a slow, confident rhythm. There’s richness, yes—but also balance, with enough freshness to keep it lifted despite the vintage’s intensity.

This is Pinot Noir in its most baritone register—generous, brooding, and intensely satisfying. Best with decanting and rich fare, or simply savored on its own as it unfurls in the glass. For collectors and Burgundy lovers who appreciate depth over delicacy, Malconsorts 2003 is a wine with serious gravitas.

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.

Focus On: Burgundy

Burgundy has long been the world's most famous wine region. But, underneath all the prestige, this region can be hard to get to know.

While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!

From the very basics of Burgundy's regions and wines to the specific terroirs of individual single vineyards--
everything you need to know about Bourgogne is just a click away!
