Cathiard Vosne-Romanée 'En Orveaux': The Jewel of the Côte de Nuits

Domaine Sylvain Cathiard's Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru 'En Orveaux' is a highly sought-after expression of Premier Cru Burgundy. The 'En Orveaux' climat, situated adjacent to the Grand Cru Echezeaux, provides a terroir that delivers both power and exquisite elegance. Under the careful stewardship of Sébastien Cathiard, the Domaine produces wines celebrated for their purity, intensity, and a signature, seductive silkiness.

Tasting Profile

• Appearance: Deep, vibrant ruby colour.
• Aromatics: Profound and complex, revealing layers of ripe black cherry, forest floor, sweet spice, and a hallmark hint of truffle.
• Mouthfeel: Masterful finesse with extraordinary balance. The tannins are remarkably fine-grained and silky, leading to a long, profound, and mineral-laced finish. A true 'fist in a velvet glove.'

Food Pairing & Serving Suggestions

To honour this exceptional Pinot Noir, pair it with classic, robust yet refined dishes. Decant for an hour and serve just below room temperature at 16°C (61°F).

• Longevity: Excellent potential for 10-20 years in the cellar.
• Pairings: Haunch of Venison, Traditional Roast Goose, Beef Wellington, Aged Comté or mature Cheddar.
