Neal Martin, November 2022, Score: 87
The 2021 Bourgogne Aligoté is raised entirely in stainless steel and bottled in April. Orange cordial and light pear notes on the nose, this is nicely defined. The palate is tangy on the entry, with modest depth, not complex but with an ample peach skin, pithy finish. Drink now and over the next 2-3 years. Drink 2022-2025

Jasper Morris MW, November 2022, Score: 87
Bottled in April with the red 2020s, vinified in stainless steel. Even in 2021 there should be plenty of wine as this is a 2 hectare holding. 95% comes from Villers-Lafaye in the Hautes Côtes, mostly from vines planted in 1945 and 1948, and a touch from Nuits-St-Georges.Classic Aligoté on the nose, fresh apple, citrus, greengage. Medium bodied, quite forward. Correct acidity without being trenchant, fine long finish, delicious in an uncomplicated yet still quite nuanced style. Drink from 2024-2026.

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
Bourgogne Aligoté
Regional appellation for white wines made exclusively from the Aligote grape. Unlike Chardonnay these are best drunk young, with fresh notes of green apple and citrus fruit. The best wines tend to come from the Cote Chalonnaise around Bouzeron. This is the classic wine used in making Kir with Creme de Cassis from up the road in Dijon.
