Domaine Sylvain Cathiard - Hautes-Cotes de Nuits Rouge 'Aux Chaumes' - 2021

This is also fresh and bright though notably cooler in character with its essence of red pinot fruit, green tea and a floral hint. Here too the attractively textured flavors are racy and detailed if even more intense with much evident minerality, indeed this is like licking rocks, on the linear, youthfully austere and balanced finale. This should benefit from 2 to 3 years of keeping to unwind. 86-89 Points, Outstanding Allen Meadows, Burghound
