The Sylvain Cathiard Hautes Côtes de Nuits 'Aux Chaumes' 2022 is a remarkable expression of Burgundy's elevated vineyards, offering a refined and elegant Pinot Noir. Sourced from a small 1.35-hectare plot located above Nuits-St-Georges at an altitude of 380-400 meters, this wine showcases the unique terroir of the Hautes Côtes de Nuits subregion. The elevated position of the vines ensures that the fruit retains its freshness and acidity, even in warmer vintages, making this an exceptional example of balance and finesse.
The wine presents a medium depth of colour and a captivating bouquet of fine raspberry aromas, layered with a floral top note that enhances its aromatic complexity. On the palate, it strikes a perfect balance between vibrant fruit and the acidity, creating a harmonious, silky texture that carries through to a lingering, elegant finish. With its refined tannin structure and excellent length, this wine is a true testament to the terroir of the Hautes Côtes de Nuits and the meticulous winemaking of Sylvain Cathiard.
With the 2022 vintage showing impressive clarity and balance, this wine is drinking well now but will continue to evolve beautifully over the next few years. Drinkable from 2025 through 2028, it will reward those with the patience to cellar it, developing further depth and complexity with time.
