About this Item
Domaine Sylvain Cathiard, located in Burgundy, was established in the 1930s by Sylvain’s grandfather. When Sylvain’s father took over in 1969, Sylvain began renting the family’s vines to make his own wine. He then took over in 1995, when his father retired, and was joined by his son, Sebastien, in the late 2000s. They own highly-regarded vineyards in Vosne-Romanée including, amongst others, a small parcel of Romanée-Saint Vivant.

Critics Ratings
'Magnum. The wine was tasting a little bit strict but was utterly correct. Slightly rough, rustic nose but no shortage of ripe fruit.' - Jancis Robinson Jancisrobinson.com 17.5/20 (2014)
'Great depth on nose. Animal, leather/savoury. Good definition. Lush sensuous palate. Subtle new oak. Concentrated with sweet red fruit. Slight bitter finish but very impressive.' - Tom Cannavam, wine-pages.com, 92/100 (2003)
