Perfect on a warm night outside. Complex and crunchy but very easy to enjoy.

A Sylvain Cathiard Bourgogne Rouge is better than a lot of producers' Vosne-Romaneés.

Really delicious. ££ is a bit crazy for a Bourgogne rouge but it's mightily impressive.

Tastes like baby Vosne Romanée to me! So much asphalt aroma and earth I imagine it's a baby Reignots--perhaps young replanted vines? Dark fruit is here but it plays second fiddle to the massive earthy elements. Heat sticks out on the midpalate a touch, but doesn't prevent this from being a monstrous red with an accumulative aroma that brings vinyl to mind. Curious to see where a short term aging curve would take this. Sebastien gleefully acknowledges this is his finest Bourgogne ever. Even with its flaws, Bourgogne should not be able to achieve these aromatic heights!
