Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, November 2019

Fresh purple colour, with a wonderful mix of fruit on the nose along with some clean vanilla. Fruits are more red than black. Then the fruit surges majestically across the palate, peonies and luscious red cherries...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2017

(92 - 94 points) There are five barrels of the 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots, which Sebastien mentioned was not touched by the frost. It has a graceful, elegant bouquet that unfolds in the glass: precise scents...

The Reignots hails from the domaine’s youngest vines, and though Cathiard thinks this will pick up some additional mid-palate amplitude after a second winter on its fine lees, it can’t match the concentration of the more...

The 2016 Sylvain Cathiard Vosne Romanee 1er Cru les Reignots is a Pinot Noir from the esteemed Burgundy region in France, specifically the Cote de Nuits sub-region. This wine is produced by Sylvain Cathiard and comes sealed with a cork closure.

The wine receives high praise across multiple reviews, with Decanter awarding it a score of 92 points. The publication notes that the wine is sourced from the domaine’s youngest vines, suggesting it might gain additional mid-palate depth with more aging. The tasting notes highlight "aromas of raspberry, rich spice, liquorice, and game bird," describing the wine as "delicate, ample but medium-bodied," and suggesting it will be "comparatively accessible in its youth" (Decanter, 10/20/2017).

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate rates the wine between 92 and 94 points, emphasizing its elegance and precision. The review describes the bouquet as "graceful" with "precise scents of raspberry and black cherry fruit interlaced by minerals and hints of wilted violet petals." The oak integration is noted as being particularly well-executed. The palate is characterized by "succulent tannin, lovely crisp black and red fruit," culminating in a "clinical, precise, focused finish." The reviewer speculates that this vintage might be as good as, if not better than, the 2015 (Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, 12/30/2017).

Jasper Morris from Inside Burgundy gives the wine an impressive 95 points, describing it as having a "fresh purple colour" and a "wonderful mix of fruit on the nose along with some clean vanilla." The fruits are predominantly red, and the palate is noted for its "majestic" surge of "peonies and luscious red cherries," with perfectly integrated oak and "very good acidity." The wine is praised for its "fabulous length and class" (Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 11/1/2019).

In summary, the 2016 Sylvain Cathiard Vosne Romanee 1er Cru les Reignots is a highly regarded Pinot Noir known for its elegant bouquet, precise palate, and excellent aging potential. While it may be accessible in its youth, additional aging could enhance its already impressive qualities.
