Sylvain Cathiard, Coteaux Bourguignons Croix Blanches Vintage:2019 There is plenty of verve

There is plenty of verve and mid-palate concentration to the intense and seductively textured flavors that offer both good size and weight

This is also lovely though it too needs to add depth

but has the grip that suggests just how good this wine is

this both caresses and stimulates the palate with a kaleidoscopically interactive array of those diverse and exotic elements that on the nose signaled its ripeness and botrytis ennoblement

There is a suave and velvety texture that presently completely buffers the equally fine-grained tannins on the lingering finish

Sylvain Cathiard, Coteaux Bourguignons Croix Blanches Vintage:2019 There is plenty of verve(from a parcel of interplanted vines in a proportion of 60% gamay and 40% pinot). There is just enough reduction present to push the underlying fruit to the background. By contrast there is good freshness to the nicely vibrant and well detailed flavors that offer solid length on the refreshing if rustic finale. (86 88) 2020+
