Neal Martin, December 2015, Score: 89-91
The 2014 Nuits St Georges Villages comprises of just three barrels, two of them new in his vintage. It has a pure and fragrant bouquet: black cherries, a touch of cassis and violets, quite opulent considering this is a village cru. The palate is medium-bodied, creamy on the entry with layers of ripe cassis and black cherry fruit, nicely balanced with a surprisingly opulent finish. An NSG that's a cut above. Drink 2018-2030

Burghound, January 2016, Score: 89-91
A deft touch of wood sets off ultra-fresh and attractively layered aromas of red berry, earth and game hints. There is outstanding energy to the delineated medium-bodied flavors that also possess a sleek and tautly muscular texture, all wrapped in a balanced and persistent finish that delivers even better depth. This is an excellent villages and worth checking out. Top vlaue 89-91. Drink 2022+

Aux Athées. It is deep soil with clay. Rounded, ripe and dark and fruity with some slightly exoti spice. This has a liquorice twang to the palate together with the dark cherry…which is very appetising and gives it freshness. Fine, slightly sinewy tannins. It is fresh and quite energetic..and gives it a nice bitterness on the finish. (This will have 50% new oak which the sample had not)

Sylvain Cathiard is one of the top growers in Vosne Romanée, a region not shy of exceptional talent. He only has around 4.25 hectares of vines, therefore the quantity that he makes is particularly small. Traditionally, Burgundy domaines are renowned for being minute in size, and he is definitely amongst the smallest. In addition, he has some of the most exceptional vineyards, which read like a Who's Who list of the Côte de Nuits, many of which are located next to grand crus sites. This combination is lethal for allocations. Too little wine with too many open hands all waiting for their fair share. SInce 2011 his talented son, Sébastien, has been running the domaine.Read less
Region
Nuits Saint Georges
The second largest town after Beaune, Nuits St. Georges is known for ample wines that have textured tannins and rich fruit. Unlike other famous Côte de Nuits villages, it has no Grand Crus but does have a handful of exceptional premier cru vineyards such as Clos de l'Arlot, Les Pruliers and AuxMurgers. Its wines can be occasionally rustic, and this sets them apart from many of the more northern appellations as well as from the neighbouring Côte de Beaune whose wines (apart from Pommard) tend to be less structured and more fruit forward. This is no doubt due to a slightly increased presence of clay especially on the Primeaux-Prissey area of the appellation. Notable producers include Domaine de l'Arlot, Jean Grivot and Meo-Camuzet.
