Domaine Sylvain Cathiard et Fils Hautes Cotes De Nuits Les Dames Huguette 2023, 75cl

Domaine Sylvain Cathiard et Fils Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits “Les Dames Huguette” is primarily sourced from a dedicated 1.45-hectare parcel of old vines (35–55 years old) located in the Hautes-Côtes plateau above Nuits-Saint-Georges, characterized by its high limestone content. This 2023 vintage is a blend of 100% Pinot Noir. The estate is managed with sustainable and organic practices, and this vintage was crafted following the same meticulous care as the domaine’s legendary Vosne-Romanée wines, featuring 100% de-stemmed fruit and precision temperature control. It was aged in French oak barrels (approximately 20% new) for 15 to 18 months to emphasize the elegant, mineral-driven profile of this specific site.

Tasting Notes:
“The 2023 Dame Huguette is a standout for its level, offering a perfumed and slightly more elegant nose of red berries and wet stone. On the palate, it is beautifully balanced with dark berry fruit and a touch of cola, showing fine weight and focus. It possesses excellent delineation—truly chiseled—all wrapped in a persistent and balanced finish. A sensual and mineral-edged expression that will continue to integrate and gain complexity over the next few years.” — Score 90-92 — Based on Early Release Reviews, 2025
