Mature vines from the mid 1950s are used here and have created a fine, glowing purple wine with lovely, juicy energy and a little whiff of oak among the fruit and violets. There is good weight to the fruit, with floral notes continuing all the way through to the back of the palate. Decidedly elegant, this is serious, powerful wine.

2010 is the first vintage to be made in the new cuvrie at this domaine, but it will be the last that is vinified by Sylvain Cathiard himself, he is handing over responsibility to his son Sbastien in 2011. The harvest began on 25th September with volumes just a little down compared to previous years, but as ever, Sylvain and his son have produced a most seductive range of wines.

From 60-year-old vines, this wine has a seductive nose, similar in style to Cathiard’s village Chambolle but it is much more concentrated. There are some rich strawberry notes to the fruit which are backed by refreshing acidity.
