Domaine Sylvain Cathiard Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits Les Dames Huguettes 2020 750ml

Domaine Sylvain Cathiard, now run by Sébastien Cathiard, is one of Vosne-Romanée's most coveted estates, with holdings that stretch up to Romanée-St-Vivant. Les Dames Huguettes is a named site in the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, the cooler hillsides above the famous Côte de Nuits villages, and it gives a rare, more accessible taste of the domaine's precise, refined style. The warm, dry 2020 vintage produced concentrated Burgundies that kept impressive freshness, and the higher elevation helped preserve balance here. Expect red cherry, raspberry and violet with gentle spice and a fine, mineral finish. Enjoyable now, it should drink well through about 2030.
