RATINGS

92Wine Spectator

..ripe and opulent, with a balanced attack. Cherry, strawberry and floral notes permeate the silky texture, and it kicks in with a second wave from midpalate to the finish. The tannins are well-integrated and the finish is very long.

90Stephen Tanzer

Raspberry, minerals, flowers and nutty oak on the nose. More aromatic than the Orveaux but still a bit unforthcoming. Then sweet, creamy and pliant in the mouth, with lovely sneaky depth of raspberry and floral flavor. Supple and long...

90Burghound.com

A nose of highly complex earthy dark berry fruit aromas laced liberally with spice, subtle herb and tea notes with robust, powerful, intense and muscular full-bodied flavors underpinned by a firm tannic spine and noteworthy grip.

Good balance and fruit...

PRODUCER

Sylvain Cathiard

Sylvain Cathiard is a 10-acre estate in Romanee-Saint-Vivant, in Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. Sylvain himself is a third-generation Burgundian winemaker who set up his own domaine nearly 20 years ago before returning to run the family’s domaine after his father’s retirement. He now works with his son Sebastian. Their flagship wines are Vosne-Romanee Premier Crus Les Malconsorts, En Orveau, Les Reignots and Les Suchots, and Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Crus Aux Thorey and Les Murgers. Cathiard and his wines are beloved by many wine writers, including Clive Coates, who says “there is a touch of genius here in the winemaking, resulting in bottles of exceptional purity and fragrance: Pinot Noir at its most elegant.”

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanee, Aux Malconsorts

Aux Malconsorts is an 14.6-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Vosne-Romanee appellation of Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. It is on the appellation’s southern boundary with Nuits-Saints-Georges. The vineyard abuts La Tache, which is just to the north and has similar soil composition. Burgundy writer Clive Coates notes that Aux Malconsorts “can have flair, fat, finesse and a fine perfume.”

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
