Domaine Sylvain Cathiard Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru Aux Malconsorts 2022 AOC 0.75l

Domaine Sylvain Cathiard Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru Aux Malconsorts 2022 AOC 0.75l presents itself as a clear window onto the Vosne-Romanée terroir, offering a highly refined interpretation that combines elegance, controlled power, and a depth that unfolds sip after sip. The history of Domaine Sylvain Cathiard is that of a family that has cultivated its vineyards with dedication over time, transforming a passion into a work philosophy centered on respect for the vineyard, patience, and the careful use of natural resources to create wines that express their place. The house's production philosophy emphasizes careful vineyard management, moderate yields, manual harvesting, and an aging process that emphasizes the verticality of the fruit without forcing it, allowing the wine to evolve in the glass while remaining faithful to its terroir. Aux Malconsorts stands out for its precise soil and exposure: clay-limestone soils, combined with Vosne's microclimate, shape aromatic readiness and a mineral tension that sustains an elegant structure. Sensoryally, the nose opens with cherry and blackberry, hints of violet, a touch of pink pepper, and a graphite note that seems to emerge from the soil. On the palate, the texture is silky, the tannins are balanced, and the persistence fades into a long, clean, and never rushed finish. The wine's role in the producer's portfolio is crucial: Aux Malconsorts represents one of the precise interpretations of the Cathiard signature, capable of combining refinement and power in a balance that resists aging. This wine is designed to accompany dishes of great character, such as roast game, savory mushrooms, and aged cheeses, and is aimed at collectors and connoisseurs seeking a Burgundy capable of expressing its terroir without adhering to preconceived formulas. In the STELT positioning, Aux Malconsorts 2022 offers a reading of sober and measured excellence, where loyalty to the place translates into an understated class and an oenological credibility that invites prolonged reading over time.
