Vosne Romanee 2016 Cathiard

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (91)

One-third of the 2016 Vosne-Romanée Village was lost to mildew this year and what survived is raised in 50% new oak. It has a very pure and suave bouquet: precise red berry fruit, sous-bois and cold slate-like aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with strict tannin, clean and fresh with a gorgeous blood orange note that enlivens the tensile red cherry and strawberry fruit on the finish. There is impressive substance to this village cru.

Jasper Morris (92)

Raised in a mix of new and one-year old barrels. Rich purple, an impressively heady nose but not as openly seductive as in Sylvain Cathiard’s time. The fruit is dark red with some blacker notes but despite the amazing density there is a fresh feel, good oak tannins, very backward but shows great promise.
