The 2021 growing season was Burgundy’s coldest and most fraught in decades frost cut yields in Vosne nearly in half, and a cool summer kept everything in classical proportion. For a vineyard like Aux Reignots, perched on the upper slope above La Romane on thin limestone soils, that meant a return to the old Burgundy template: lower alcohol, brighter acidity, perfume over power. Sbastien Cathiard’s bottling is a small, focused expression of one of Vosne’s most coveted 1er Cru addresses sometimes called “the poor man’s RSV” for its proximity and pedigree. A wine for collectors who love classical, transparent Burgundy.
