The 2022 Sylvain Cathiard Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru 'Malconsorts' is a wine of exceptional breed and depth, showcasing the pure brilliance of this celebrated vineyard. From a 0.74-hectare parcel of vines planted in the early 1970s, just steps away from the legendary Grand Cru La Tâche, this wine stands as a testament to the grandeur of Vosne-Romanée. Aged in 67% new oak and 33% one-year-old oak, the result is a wine that expresses the sheer power, depth, and elegance of a Grand Cru, while maintaining the finesse and precision that defines Sylvain Cathiard’s style.
The 2022 vintage presents a vibrant ruby-purple hue, with the wine offering an intensity of fruit that is rare even among Vosne’s top-tier vineyards. This cuvée has an extra layer of density compared to other Premier Crus, boasting a richness that never tips into opulence. On the palate, it unfolds with incredible depth, showcasing ripe red fruits framed by well-integrated tannins and fine, expressive acidity. The finish is exceptionally long, underpinned by a streak of fresh, fine-boned acidity that extends the wine’s complexity further. A stunning example of Vosne-Romanée at its finest, this wine will reward those with patience, evolving beautifully over the next decade and beyond.
