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.

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.
A rich, perfumed bouquet of red fruits, particularly raspberries and cherries, with a touch of spice and a subtle overlay of vanilla from the oak. The aromatic intensity is palpable, with hints of dried herbs and floral undertones that add complexity to the nose.
The wine showcases a remarkable density of fruit, with vibrant red berry flavours interwoven with hints of exotic spice. The texture is medium-bodied with plush tannins that provide a harmonious structure, while the acidity is finely tuned, giving the wine a sense of freshness and precision. The mid-palate offers impressive depth, with a concentration of fruit that builds gracefully.
The finish is exceptionally long, with fine-boned acidity providing balance and a refreshing lift. The wine leaves a lasting impression of layered red fruit, spice, and a touch of minerality, with the tannins fully integrated, allowing the finish to linger beautifully.
