2020 | Domaine Sylvain Cathiard et Fils | Aux Thorey

The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Thorey 1er Cru has a very opulent and ravishing bouquet, very pure with dark cherries, cassis and light floral aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins, very good structure, lightly spiced with gentle grip towards the finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Unwinding in the glass with aromas of plums, cassis, blackberries and cherries, framed by a discreet patina of creamy new oak, Cathiard's 2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Thorey is medium to full-bodied, rich and velvety, with lively acids and a perfumed finish. Fruit driven and spumous, it will offer a broad drinking window.

• Jasper Morris: Dense black purple. Very little bouquet. Huge rich and powerful but this time the fruit goes right through to the finish and the little fresh crunch of acidity at the back helps considerably. Some deep raspberry along with some blacker fruit as well.

Producer Information

Domaine Sylvain Cathiard et Fils is a well-regarded family wine producer based in the village of Vosne-Romanée in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits. It is known for its highly sought-after premium-priced Pinot Noir wines from plots in premier and grand cru vineyards throughout Vosne and the surrounding appellations. The domaine's history begins with Sylvain's grandfather, who began making wine in Burgundy in the 1930s. Sylvain's father André took over the winery in 1969, and ran it through to the 1980s when Sylvain became involved. He initially rented parcels of vines from his father and other vignerons to make his own wine, before he eventually taking over the family's vineyards. In 2006 his son Sébastien joined him and the domaine took on its contemporary name of Domaine Sylvain Cathiard et Fils. All the vineyard work is done by Sylvain and his wife and his son. The domaine has roughly five hectares (12 acres) of vines spread between Vosne-Romanée, Nuit-Saint-Georges and Chambolle-Musigny, including a tiny plot in Romanée-Saint-Vivant. The most prestigious of its wines come from this grand cru vineyard, and the portfolio also includes several premier cru wines from both Nuit-St-Georges and Vosne-Romanée. Cathiard also makes village-level Vosne-Romanée and a Bourgogne Rouge, both of which command high prices.
