Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots Domaine Cathiard, 2016

Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots from Domaine Cathiard is a finely tuned Burgundy that brings together depth, perfume, and impressive precision. Sourced from one of Vosne-Romanée’s most admired Premier Cru sites, it reflects both the finesse of the appellation and the pedigree of a producer long associated with meticulous, low-intervention winemaking.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine is typically translucent ruby in colour, with the kind of elegant brightness that signals freshness and balance rather than sheer power. Aromatically, it tends to open with red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, spice, and a subtle earthy note, all lifted by a refined mineral edge. On the palate, Aux Reignots usually shows layered red berry fruit, silky tannins, and a long, composed finish with notes of spice, forest floor, and delicate oak influence. The 2016 vintage in Burgundy is generally known for its balance and purity, and this wine should reward patience, with the structure to age gracefully for many years.

Production
Aux Reignots is a Premier Cru vineyard in Vosne-Romanée, one of Burgundy’s most celebrated communes, where limestone-rich soils and a prized hillside position contribute to the site’s distinctive tension and aromatic complexity. Domaine Cathiard is known for careful vineyard work and selective harvesting, aiming for fruit of exceptional ripeness and clarity. Vinification is carried out in the classic Burgundian style, with gentle extraction and élevage in oak barrels to preserve the finesse of Pinot Noir while adding structure and subtle seasoning. The result is a wine that highlights terroir first, with polished texture and precision.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent partner for dishes that echo its elegance and depth, such as roast duck, guinea fowl, squab, mushroom risotto, or veal with a light cream or herb sauce. It also works beautifully with truffle-accented dishes and refined hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if drinking relatively young to allow the aromas to fully open.
