Sylvain Cathiard Hautes Cotes de Nuits 2022

A new addition to the range from 2.5 ha of 3 plots of vines in Villars Fontaine at 350m located above Nuits St Georges. 2021 is the first vintage of this wine to be released in 2023. Shows dark fruit spectrum and very fine tannins this is an excellent addition to the range which is beautifully balanced and for earlier drinking while waiting for village wines to mature.

This is the principle Hautes Côtes cuvée, grown in the commune of Villars, from several plots. Slightly denser in colour than the Bourgogne from the Côte. A slightly plumper raspberry fruit here, still a drier patch from the wood which will assimilate, and fair length. Medium succulent, the highest alcohol of the Hautes Côtes cuvées. Drink from 2025-2028. (87-88) points, Jasper Morris M.W., Inside Burgundy, January 2024
