Sylvain Cathiard
Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, Rouge, 2024
justerini & brooks tasting note
Crunchy bittersweet fruit with a mineral tannic line. It’s not fleshy, indeed there’s an earthy honesty to this at heart, with a touch of Cathiard gloss rounding it out. From plots in the village of Villers-la-Faye up on the plateau, the vines here are planted on slightly deeper soils with more clay than Sebastian’s other Haut Côtes cuvées.

89-91/100Neal Martin,Vinous
The 2024 Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits Rouge has ample ripeness and generosity on the nose, wild strawberry and raspberry fruit, a little violet coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with blackberry, black pepper and tobacco scents, just a touch of dried blood. The palate is more structured than I expected, fine tannins, quite concentrated with a granular finish.
