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.

BH 96

"from a .74 ha parcel of 35+ year old vines. Once again the fruit is ultra-fresh with plenty of spice, floral and exotic elements adding to the appeal of the ripe, airy and layered nose. There is excellent size, weight and richness to the tautly muscular and mineral-driven broad-shouldered flavors that conclude in a hugely long, balanced and built-to-age finale. This is a very serious, compact and tightly wound wine that is indisputably going to need an extended snooze in a cool cellar. Potentially brilliant."

Antonio Galloni

AG 97

"The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Aux Malconsorts 1er Cru is very complex on the nose, leaning more towards black fruit this time, with crushed limestone and hints of ash and forest floor. It seems to expand in the glass. The palate is more linear and stricter than the Suchots, yet more tension and spiciness come towards the bravura finish. The second winter will lend this more weight, and it should be a stunning Malconsorts for the future." -Vinous

RP 94

"This site is often very reserved out of barrel, yet the 2022 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts was already quite open and expressive when I tasted it. Revealing aromas of plums, sweet berries, smoked duck and spices, it's full-bodied, ample and layered, with a rich, textural core of fruit and a broad, expansive finish. Sébastien Cathiard is habitually a late harvester, but in 2022, he began picking on September 2, a week earlier than in 2020 or 2018 in what was, in principle, a later growing season. Alcohol levels are lower as a result, between 12% and 13.6 %, and the wines are more classically proportioned, aging peacefully in his massively expanded cellars deep underground in Vosne-Romanée. As readers will remember, the rudiments of the contemporary Cathiard approach are simple: meticulous viticulture—though not, I should add, especially low yields—and careful sorting, followed by complete destemming, macerations of 20 to 30 days and maturation in barrels, principally from Tonnellerie Rémond (drawing on the Tronçais, Allier and Jupilles forests in equal proportions), from some 15 to18 months. While we think of this estate as a Vosne-Romanée producer since 2019, when Cathiard purchased several hectares predominantly in the Hautes-Côtes, fully two-thirds of the domaine's surface is devoted to regional appellations."

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!
