Domaine Sylvain Cathiard Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru En Orveaux 2020 AOC 0.75l

Domaine Sylvain Cathiard Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru En Orveaux 2020 AOC 0.75l presents itself as a concentrated window onto the Côte de Nuits, offering in a single sip the backbone of the Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru En Orveaux appellation and the distinct voice of En Orveaux, a parcel that has always interacted with the limestone terroir and a subtle minerality. The producer's history is that of a family that has transformed the care of the vine into a tradition of precision, investing over time in select vineyards and careful soil management, with a working logic that favors minimal interference and a respectful reading of the seasons, balancing interpretation with fidelity to the character of the land. This production philosophy is reflected in the daily work: hand-harvested grapes, a winery that prioritizes natural ingredients, and a firm commitment to using enological ingredients that allow the wine to evolve without forcing it, entrusting fermentation to native yeasts and aging in wooden containers selected to modulate the intensity of the fruit and the tannic texture. En Orveaux 2020 stands out for its elegance and density, a texture that envelops the palate without suffocating it, with a crisp minerality reminiscent of stone and a vibrancy of fine spices that ignites on the palate. The wine presents an intense ruby ​​color, displaying a balance between ripe red fruit, notes of cherry and raspberry, and a floral hint reminiscent of violets from the start. At mid-palate, a subtle salinity and a structure of velvety tannins guide the finish, projecting an elegant length, segmented by a freshness that makes for a smooth and refined tasting. En Orveaux is part of a range that speaks of Vosne-Romanée through legendary crus, yet maintains a coherent style that allows the producer to portray the house as a collection of voices united by a common philosophy: seeking authentic and enduring expressions of terroir, capable of aging gracefully without losing their identity. Ultimately, for STELT, this is a wine that embodies a school of balance between tradition and modernity, offering a targeted window onto the excellence of the Côte de Nuits and a drinking perspective that rewards the conscious use of time and memory.
