2015 Vosne-Romanée, Domaine Sylvain Cathiard, Burgundy

Really rich, concentrated purple, the nose has a heady succulence to it, while the palate delivers a wealth of sublime, intense red fruit and superb texture. There is not a hint of over-ripeness here. Great follow-through to the persistent finish. Drink 2020-2027.

Sébastien Cathiard completed his harvest in just three days, beginning on 12th September. He already had good sugar and low-ish acids a week earlier, but not the desired phenolic maturity. He took the decision to run with the vintage and so extracted as much as in other years, in fact punching down more in 2015 than 2014. He also made sure that the malolactic fermentation happened relatively late, so these are backward wines which will require quite a lot more élevage. But they are unquestionably brilliant wines. Sébastien has used less new oak than in the past and with a lighter toast to the barrels.
