Domaine Sylvain Cathiard - Hautes-Cotes de Nuits Rouge 'Les Dames Huguettes' - 2023

The 2023 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Les Dames Huguette, from a vineyard that touches the Aux Chaumes but has more limestone soils, shows a little more ripeness on the nose: more forward, vivacious red berry fruit mixes with hoisin. The palate is well balanced with dark berry fruit and a touch of cola. This has fine weight and focus, though perhaps it will require a couple of years to fully integrate. 90-92 Points Neal Martin, VINOUS.COM
