Domaine Sylvain Cathiard Bourgogne Rouge 2020

The 2020 Bourgogne Rouge is now a blend of two parcels, one in Gilly-lès-Cîteaux and the other in Croix Blanche in the commune of Vosne-Romanée. Delivering aromas of cherries, sweet berries and peonies, it's a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and charming effort that's matured in used barrels.

The 2020 Bourgogne Rouge comes from two parcels, one close to where Les Croix Blanches is located. This has quite a high-toned, very floral bouquet that errs close to Syrah in personality. The palate is ripe on the entry with soft black plummy fruit, a touch of dessicated orange peel on the finish that is just a little short.
