About this wine

Aux Malconsorts lies at the southern end of Vosne-Romanée, directly adjoining La Tâche, and is often counted among the best Premiers Crus of the village. Cathiard's wine is rich, deep and spicy, with dark fruit and fine structure. It is one of the domaine's leading wines and ages well for fifteen years or more.

About Domaine Sylvain Cathiard

Domaine Sylvain Cathiard is a small family estate in Vosne-Romanée. Sylvain Cathiard built up the domaine's reputation over several decades, and his son Sébastien has since taken over the winemaking. Its vineyards include Romanée-Saint-Vivant and some of the leading Premiers Crus of Vosne, among them Aux Malconsorts, Les Suchots and En Orveaux.

The wines are pure, perfumed and precisely made, with ripe fruit and fine tannins. Production is small and demand is high, and the domaine is now counted among the finest in Vosne-Romanée.
