Domaine Sylvain Cathiard Hautes Cotes De Nuits 2022 MG

Bottled in an impressive magnum, the 2022 Domaine Sylvain Cathiard Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits is a vibrant red Burgundy that punches well above its humble appellation. Combining lifted cherry fruit with a subtle, smoky edge, it delivers the finesse and energy that Pinot Noir lovers seek, with a concentration that reflects the warm, generous 2022 vintage. This is a standout introduction to the Cathiard style, wrapped in a format ideal for sharing at the table.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Hautes-Côtes de Nuits shows a bright, translucent ruby hue, hinting at both freshness and purity of fruit. The nose opens with vivid aromas of red cherries and wild strawberries, layered with notes of smoked berries, delicate spice, and a whisper of forest floor that adds complexity. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied yet impressively layered, with lively acidity that keeps the ripe fruit in perfect balance. Juicy cherry and red berry flavors are framed by fine, silky tannins and a subtle smokiness that lingers on the finish. The naturally achieved 13.6% alcohol lends depth and texture without heaviness. In magnum, this 2022 is delicious now for its youthful vibrancy, but it also has the structure to evolve gracefully over the next 6–10 years, gaining further nuance and complexity.

Production
Sourced from the elevated slopes of the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits in Burgundy, this wine draws its character from cooler exposures, limestone-rich soils, and breezy conditions that preserve freshness and aromatics in Pinot Noir. The grapes are typically harvested by hand to ensure careful selection of bunches in the vineyard, an important step for a producer as quality-focused as Domaine Sylvain Cathiard. In the cellar, gentle handling, traditional Burgundian vinification, and élevage in French oak (with a judicious use of new barrels) allow the terroir to shine while adding polish and texture. The result is a wine that retains its vibrant, high-altitude lift yet carries a surprising depth and ripeness for the appellation.

Food & Serving
This 2022 Hautes-Côtes de Nuits is a versatile partner at the table, pairing beautifully with roast chicken, duck breast, charcuterie, mushroom dishes, and simply prepared pork or veal. It also complements earthy vegetable-based cuisine—think roasted root vegetables, lentil dishes, or a wild mushroom risotto. Serve at 14–16°C (57–61°F) to highlight its freshness and aromatic detail. In magnum, a short decant of 30–45 minutes can help the wine open up, softening the edges of the tannins and allowing the cherry and smoked-berry notes to fully express themselves.
