The Sylvain Cathiard Hautes Côtes de Nuits 'Les Dames Huguette' 2022 offers a glimpse into the elegance of Burgundy's elevated terroir. From a renowned 1.45-hectare parcel of 35-55-year-old vines in the Hautes Côtes above Nuits-St-Georges, this Pinot Noir is crafted from a vineyard that consistently retains its vibrant acidity, maturing just a day or two later than the estate's vineyards in Nuits-St-Georges and Vosne-Romanée.
In the glass, the wine presents a delightful ruby colour that hints at its refined character. The nose is expressive, offering fresh red fruit aromas—think alpine strawberry and ripe raspberries—infused with the distinctive minerality of the limestone soils. On the palate, the wine is finely structured, with a purity and freshness that is typical of the region's cooler elevations. The finish is elegant and lingering, showcasing a balance of fruit, acidity, and a hint of minerality that adds complexity and length.
A beautiful example of Pinot Noir from the Hautes Côtes de Nuits, this wine is drinking well now, but it will continue to develop over the coming years. Drink from 2025 to 2028 to experience its full potential.

Domaine Sylvain Cathiard has established itself as one of the most highly regarded producers in Burgundy, known for its refined and harmonious wines that reflect the unique qualities of each vineyard. Founded by Sylvain Cathiard in 2001, the estate has grown to encompass a collection of parcels in some of Burgundy’s most prestigious villages, including Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-St-Georges, and Chambolle-Musigny. Sylvain’s son, Sebastien, now runs the domaine, continuing the legacy with a focus on minimal intervention winemaking and sustainable practices. The wines produced at Domaine Sylvain Cathiard are celebrated for their purity, elegance, and exceptional ageing potential. The estate’s commitment to organic and biodynamic farming practices ensures that each wine is a true reflection of its terroir, with an emphasis on clarity, balance, and harmony.
Sebastien Cathiard’s winemaking philosophy is rooted in respect for the land and a commitment to creating wines that express the full potential of their terroir. His approach is hands-off, allowing nature to guide the winemaking process. The estate follows organic and biodynamic principles to ensure the vineyards are in harmony with the environment. In the winery, Sebastien uses indigenous yeasts for fermentation, with minimal intervention and no fining or filtration. The wines are aged in carefully selected barrels to develop depth and complexity, while preserving the purity and expression of the fruit. This meticulous approach results in wines that are both elegant and expressive, with a true sense of place.
The nose opens with an inviting bouquet of fresh red fruit, including alpine strawberry and ripe raspberries, complemented by delicate floral notes and a subtle touch of spice. The fresh, aromatic profile is further enhanced by the minerality of the limestone soil.
On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and well-balanced, with bright red fruit flavours and a lively, crisp acidity that adds freshness. The texture is smooth and elegant, with just a hint of earthy minerality adding depth and complexity. The fruit remains vibrant, supported by the fine structure of the wine.
The finish is long and refined, with the fruit and acidity melding beautifully. A subtle mineral edge lingers on the palate, providing a lasting impression of elegance and balance. The wine’s fresh acidity and fine tannins ensure a satisfying and memorable finish.
