2012 Domaine Sylvain Cathiard Romanee Saint-Vivant Burgundy - 96 pts

Domaine Sylvain Cathiard et Fils is a family-owned and-operated producer in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits. It is known for its highly regarded, premium-priced Pinot Noir from plots in premier and grand cru vineyards. 

The domaine's history begins with Sylvain's grandfather, who began making wine in Burgundy in the 1930s. Sylvain's father André took over the winery in 1969, and ran it through to the 1980s when Sylvain became involved. (© Copyright material, Wine-Searcher.com) He initially rented parcels of vines from his father and other vignerons to make his own wine, before he eventually taking over the family's vineyards. In 2006 his son Sébastien joined him and the domaine took on its contemporary name of Domaine Sylvain Cathiard et Fils. All the vineyard work is done by Sylvain and his wife and his son.

Rating 96 RP - 2012 Domaine Sylvain Cathiard Romanee Saint-Vivant Burgundy - 96 pts There are three barrels of the 2012 Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru from 75-year old vines. It has a fragrant bouquet that offers a smorgasbord of red berry fruits and minerals to the point where the new wood in imperceptible. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent, ripe tannins and very well judged acidity. The finish is more linear that other vintages that I have tried from barrel, nicely focused with a touch of spice popping up on the extraordinary long aftertaste. RP
