Sylvain Cathiard built his reputation on Vosne-Romanée premiers and grands crus, which makes this Hautes Côtes de Nuits worth paying attention to — it's made with the same rigor applied to far more expensive bottles. The 2.5-hectare Pièce Dame Marie lieu-dit in Villers-La-Faye holds vines planted in 1973 and 2000 on deep clay soils, farmed with sustainable organic practices. Fully destemmed, macerated 20–30 days with five to six punchdowns, then aged 15–18 months in 20% new oak with controlled SO2, it delivers red cherry, earth, and forest floor with silky tannins and focused acidity.
