Domaine Sylvain Cathiard Bourgogne Hautes Cotes De Nuits Les Dames Huguette 2022 750ml 

From the esteemed Domaine Sylvain Cathiard, this Pinot Noir hails from a distinguished 1.45-hectare parcel of 35–55-year-old vines situated in the elevated Hautes-Côtes above Nuits-Saint-Georges. The vineyard's high limestone content and thin soils contribute to the wine's vibrant acidity and refined character.

Tasting Notes
Nose: A bouquet of alpine strawberries and ripe raspberries, interwoven with subtle floral notes and a hint of spice, reflecting the minerality of the limestone soils.
Palate: Medium-bodied and well-balanced, offering bright red fruit flavours complemented by lively acidity and a smooth, elegant texture.
Finish: Long and refined, with a lingering mineral edge that enhances the wine's elegance and balance.

Winemaking: Crafted using 100% de-stemmed fruit, the wine undergoes a 10-day cold maceration followed by fermentation with ambient yeasts. Aged for 15–18 months in barrels (20% new), with no fining or filtration, and minimal sulfur added post-malolactic fermentation. 

Cellaring Potential: While approachable now, this wine has the structure to evolve gracefully over the next decade, developing greater complexity and depth.

Alc: 12%
