Domaine Sylvain Cathiard: Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Spotlight

When collectors talk about the most in-demand names in Vosne-Romanée orbit, Domaine Sylvain Cathiard comes up fast. This small, family-run domaine has built a reputation for Burgundy that’s all about precision, balance, and unmistakable terroir—and the bottles rarely sit around for long.

This featured offer focuses on two standout Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru vineyards—Aux Thorey and Aux Murgers—across multiple vintages.

Why Cathiard (and why these two 1er Crus)

Under Sébastien Cathiard, the style leans fresh and detailed: fully de-stemmed fruit, long macerations, and a thoughtful approach to oak that keeps the wines focused on site character. The result is the Cathiard signature—lifted aromatics, refined structure, and serious aging potential.

Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru: Aux Thorey

What to expect:

• Floral spice and lifted aromatics

• Cooler-site elegance with mineral tension

• Fine-boned structure that gains depth with time

Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru: Aux Murgers

Planted in 1945 and 1960, this mid-slope site tends to deliver the more powerful, structured profile—classic Nuits with extra drive and mid-palate density.

What to expect:

• Deeper fruit, savory breadth, and texture

• Plush but firm tannins with real mid-palate weight

• Bold, cellar-worthy Nuits-Saint-Georges character

Secure Your Allocation

Cathiard’s production is tiny, demand is global, and top cuvées disappear quickly—so when Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru shows up in quantity, it’s worth paying attention.
