2021 Domaine Sylvain Cathiard, Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru, Aux Malconsorts 1x750ml

Vinous 94

The 2021 Vosne-Romanee Aux Malconsorts 1er Cru takes time to really cohere on the nose, more backward than recent vintages, sultry even. This seems to lean more towards black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with strict tannins. There’s backbone here, assertiveness, yet without the density or opulence that has come to define Cathiard’s style, so very different. This will require some time in bottle but will have much to offer. [Neal Martin, 05/01/2023]
