One of the more famous distilleries in the Jamaica

Medium to full-bodied with satiny tannins and remarkable freshness

ungrafted Carignane vines and treats them with the lightest possible touch: native yeast

That sense of cocoa further develops on the palate as bittersweet chocolate

with a palate of salty smoke and gentle raspberry acidity

Sylvain Cathiard Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts 2020 [NET] champagne-template One of the more famous2020 is the balancing act a warm vintage, no question, but one where the better addresses pulled off ripeness without flab, density without heat. Cathiard's Malconsorts in 2020 lands on that knife edge: the deep red clay of this climat (the upper middle slice, directly adjacent to La Tche) gives ripeness real lift, and Sbastien's restrained hand keeps everything in line. The result is plush, pure, and lifted modern Burgundy at its most coherent.
