The 2022 Sylvain Cathiard Vosne-Romanée is a captivating expression of one of Burgundy's most revered villages. Sourced from five parcels of vines across four distinct lieux-dits, this wine is a reflection of both Sebastien Cathiard's meticulous approach to viticulture and his commitment to highlighting the unique terroirs of Vosne-Romanée. Planted between 1945 and 1985, these vines are located just below the village, benefiting from the region's renowned microclimate and well-draining soils. Aged in a careful blend of 40% new oak and 60% one-year-old oak, the result is a refined, expressive wine that strikes the perfect balance between purity, fruit, and subtle oak influence.
In the glass, the 2022 Vosne-Romanée presents a bright ruby purple hue that hints at its vibrancy. The nose is exquisite—fine, precise, and layered with aromas of ripe raspberries and a touch of cherry, complemented by floral nuances and a gentle spice. The wine's structure is remarkable, showcasing the elegance and freshness that Vosne-Romanée is known for. On the palate, the fruit is generous, yet restrained, and the wine’s fine-boned acidity imparts a taut, focused finish with excellent length. The quality of this wine lies not in immediate seduction, but in its impeccable balance, precision, and potential for long-term ageing.
Sebastien Cathiard has certainly elevated the Domaine since taking over from his father, reducing the percentage of new oak and refining his approach to capture the true expression of his terroir. This 2022 Vosne-Romanée is a stunning example of what Sebastien can achieve, showcasing his commitment to both craftsmanship and the distinctive beauty of the Vosne-Romanée appellation.
Drink from 2028 to 2035 for optimal expression.
