  In much the same fashion as the Aux Thorey the red berry fruit suffused nose is cool, pure and restrained but even spicier. The mouthfeel of the tension-filled medium weight flavors is ultra-elegant while exhibiting ample minerality on the impeccably well-balanced and sneaky long finish. This is a classic Reignots of class and grace. Drink 2027+

  The 2017 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots offers up aromas of strawberries, raspberries, rose petals, spices and dark chocolate, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny palate that stands out as one of the most elegant cuvées in the Cathiard cellar, its fruit pure and succulent, its finish long and melting. The vines here are twenty-one years old, but while the Reignots isn't the deepest wine in the range it's among the most charming.

Producer

Domaine Sylvain Cathiard

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.
