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 (92-94)Darker and more explosive than the Aux Thorey, the 2012 Nuits St. Georges Aux Murgers is endowed with considerable depth and pure power. Smoke, tobacco, tar, new leather and French oak flow through to an enveloping, resonant finish. Readers will have to be patient with the 2012, as the tannins are quite massive, but there is a lot to look forward to here. The low yields and small berries of the year can be felt in the wine's breadth and pure volume. |

Vinous (93)The 2014 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Murgers 1er Cru is developing beautifully on the nose, perhaps shunning its nascent opulence and manifesting much more intriguing brambly black fruit, black truffle, iodine and seaweed scents. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, pliant tannins, dark berry fruit and a surprisingly structured, not austere but serious finish. Drinking beautifully now, this clearly has an evolution that will be fascinating to follow. Tasted at Maufoux in Chablis. |

Wine Advocate (92-94)The 2016 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers has a precise bouquet, tightly wound at the moment with black cherry, boysenberry and cold stone aromas, much more backward than the Aux Thorey. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, tightly knit and focused, tensile with a precise, quite pointed, sorbet-fresh finish. There is something clockwork about this Murgers—every component synchronized the other. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Murgers 1er Cru, matured in 60% new oak, has an expressive bouquet of dark berry fruit infused with bay leaf and black tea, the terroir a little more articulated than the Aux Thorey at the moment. The palate is smooth and sensual on the entry, an equal mixture of red and black fruit, with a gentle grip on the lightly peppered finish. Excellent. |

The palate is medium-bodied with powerful red fruit laced with white pepper and allspice, grippy and dense with a finish that fans out with confidence on the finish. This will need to be cellared. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-95)More ruby than crimson. The fruit is a little more restrained, but perhaps fresher than the Thorey, more in raspberry and cherry. This continues on a well-rounded palate with just a little youthful bitterness to add a level of tension. Will take a little longer to come round. Drink from 2031-2038. Tasted Nov 2024. |

Vinous (89-92)Good full red. Reticent aromas of red- and blackcurrant, leather and dark chocolate; less floral and expressive on the nose. Then densely packed, sappy and tight, with a fine-grained texture for Nuits-Saint-Georges. Finishes with strong but ripe tannins and very good juicy persistence. |

Vinous (89-91)(57-year-old vines) Good full red. Cherry and spicy oak on the nose. Moderately sweet and dense but backward; harder to taste than the examples from Vosne-Romanee and quite oaky today. This ripe wine has a sizable structure, but the finish is a bit tough with wood tannins. |

Wine Advocate (90)Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. Initially, the Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Aux Thorey from Cathiard seems to have a lot of oak smothering the sappy black fruit, although with aeration it coalesces nicely and develops attractive floral scents. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity cutting through the thickset fruit. This feels a little primal and flirts with over-extraction but I think it does not step over the mark. Give this 5-6 years and this could turn into a fine Nuits Saint Georges. |

Tim Atkin MW (94)The style is still evolving at this domaine since Sébastian Cathiard took over with the 2011 vintage, but some of the wines seem denser and more oaky in their youth. This is an impressive, even explosive Pinot, which will see less oak in 2013. The underlying fruit concentration is balanced by a breezy freshness on the finish. |

Vinous (91-93)Cathiard's 2013 Nuits St. Georges Aux Thorey is packed with implosive energy. Dark blue and black stone fruits, smoke, spice and new leather come through, but the 2013 remains tightly wound, with imposing tannins and notable concentration. I expect the 2013 is going to need a good decade to start strutting its stuff. Still, there is plenty to look forward to. |

Wine Advocate (91-93)The 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Thorey offers up a lovely bouquet of cassis, blackberries, warm spices, licorice and peony. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, with superb concentration and an earthier, chewier profile than the Murgers this year—despite the finesse of its tannins. |

Vinous (93-95)The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Thorey 1er Cru is expressive on the nose: wild strawberry, sous-bois and touches of crushed violet gradually unfold and seduce. The palate is silky smooth on the entry, candied orange peel filtering through the shimmering red fruit with a refreshing and precise finish that urges you back for more. Wonderful. |
