The Rare & Remarkable Sylvain Cathiard
"There is no one hotter in Burgundy these days than Sylvain Cathiard.”
– Allen Meadows
Nestled in the heart of Vosne-Romanée, Domaine Sylvain Cathiard has earned its place as one of Burgundy’s most revered and sought-after producers. This small, family-run estate crafts exceptional, terroir-driven wines that captivate collectors and connoisseurs worldwide.
Rare, Limited, and Highly Coveted
Sylvain Cathiard’s wines are the epitome of exclusivity. With tiny production levels, even the Bourgogne Rouge—the domaine’s most widely available wine—sees only around 2,000 bottles per year. Due to heavy allocations to top restaurants and high global demand, securing a bottle is no small feat.
What Makes Sylvain Cathiard Wines So Special?
- Unparalleled Freshness & Balance – Vibrant, structured, and remarkably youthful, each wine showcases exceptional energy and precision.
- Meticulous Winemaking – Sébastien Cathiard embraces a minimal intervention philosophy, allowing nature to take the lead. He fully de-stems, employs cold settling for 10 days, and ferments for up to 30 days on the skins.
- Pure Terroir Expression – New oak usage has been reduced under Sébastien’s direction, allowing the true character of Burgundy’s soils to shine through in every glass.
