Sylvain Cathiard
About Sylvain Cathiard
Originating from Savoie and arriving in Burgundy to work with the imperious Domaine de la Romanée Conti and Domaine Lamarche, the Cathiard family possess one of the most impressive collective CVs in the world. It has, expectedly, forged its glorious reputation later when they started a winery themselves.
Currently at the helm is Sebastian Cathiard, the third generation of the family, who cultivates a mere 5.5 hectares of land spread over so many sites with none bigger than one hectare. For context, the largest cuvée Cathiard produces is the Bourgogne Rouge, which sees just over 2,000 bottles of production each year.
Because of the scarcity, the unmatched demand and the heavy allocation for top restaurants, his wines are, naturally, some of the hardest to acquire.

Vinous (89-91)Resonant and totally voluptuous on the palate, the 2012 Chambolle-Musigny Les Clos de l’Orme is a real head-turner. All the elements are beautifully put together in a deep, fleshy Chambolle that shows the darkness and richness that is so typical of the year. Hints of spices, new leather and French oak linger on the close. Today the oak is a bit prominent, but that should not be an issue once the wine enters the early part of its drinking window. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2013 Chambolle-Musigny Les Clos de l’Orme offers superb quality for a village-level wine. One of the first wines to go through malolactic fermentation, the Clos de l'Orme is already very nicely put together. These 50-70 year-old vines confer richness and persistence, but there is also notable energy in the glass. Citrus-inflected overtones add brightness and exotic flair to the finish. |

Vinous (87-90)(50% new oak): Good dark red with ruby tones. Slightly reduced aromas of black raspberry, smoke, iron, earth and stony minerality. Juicy, intense purple fruit flavors show a fine-grained texture and noteworthy inner-mouth energy. Finishes with excellent length and lift but the spicy tannins come off as a bit drier than those of the Vosne villages, perhaps the result of the recent sulfur addition. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Les Clos de l'Orme has a very intense nose compared to Cathiard’s other village cuvées, featuring black cherries, cassis and light blueberry aromas that are supremely well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and wonderful bead of acidity. It tightens up toward the finish, indicative of a wine that is determined to give two decades of pleasure. Just a wonderful Chambolle-Musigny. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Les Clos de l'Orme showed just a bit of reduction on the nose, opening up gradually with crushed stone and raspberry/blackcurrant scents. The palate is well balanced with finely chiselled tannins, clean and precise with a vibrant finish. Superb. |

Vinous (85-87)The 2020 Côteaux Bourguignon Les Croix Blanches has a tightly wound nose that opens with red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine acidity, a touch of piquancy on the finish. Fine. |

Vinous (88-90)(61-year-old vines) Good medium red. Deeply pitched aromas of cherry and smoked meat. Sweet, broad and a bit peppery, without quite the precision of the Orveaux. In a more muscular style, and a bit drier. Firmly structured, but not overly tannic. Cathiard told me he prefers this to the Orveaux. |

Vinous (90-92)Good medium red. Lovely floral lift to the sweet red cherry, berry, mineral and orange skin aromas. Very suave, pure and scented wine with the minerality and lift of a top Vosne-Romanee. Finishes long and gripping, with firm but supple tannins. A superb showing, and very much in the style of the best '06s. |

Vinous (91-93)(from 68-year-old vines featuring a high percentage of tiny millerande grapes): Good dark red with ruby tones. Black fruits, violet and strong oak notes of bitter chocolate and coffee. Fat, thick and powerful, with terrific depth of material and enough acid/tannin structure to give shape and freshness to the creamy middle. The blackberry and licorice flavors carry through on the long, rising finish. |
