Description

Overview & Provenance

The 1986 Domaine André Cathiard Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is a rare, mature Burgundy treasure from an iconic family lineage. Before the domaine became Sylvain Cathiard, André Cathiard crafted wines of traditional power and authentic vineyard expression. As a result, this grand cru parcel produced Pinot Noir with remarkable density, structure, and aging longevity.

The 1986 vintage in the Côte de Nuits yielded classic wines with firm tannins and high natural acidity. In addition, nearly four decades of patient cellar aging have softened its initial muscle into delicate tertiary complexity. Therefore, this historic bottle offers Burgundy collectors a rare glimpse into the domaine’s golden past.

Tasting Profile & Sensory Character

Aromatics: First, aromas of dried red cherry, damson plum, and vintage leather rise from the glass. Soon after, complex notes of sous-bois, dried rose petals, cigar box, and black truffle emerge with air.
Palate: In addition, the palate is medium-bodied, silky, and energetic with completely resolved tannins. Savory flavors of cranberry compote, iron ore, and crushed gravel carry across a long, refined finish.

Service & Culinary Pairings

Serving Suggestions: First, stand the bottle upright for 24 hours prior to service. Next, decant gently off natural sediment for 20 minutes and serve at 60°F–63°F (15°C–17°C).

Recommended Pairings: Because of its delicate tertiary depth and resolved tannins, this mature Grand Cru pairs well with subtle meats:

Roasted squab or quail with wild chanterelles
Pan-roasted veal chops with rosemary butter
Classic French beef Bourguignon
Mild washed-rind cheeses like Cîteaux or Saint-Marcellin

Collector Notes & Cellar Potential

Bottles carrying the historic André Cathiard label are virtually impossible to find on the open market. Having reached full maturity, this 1986 bottle should be savored over the next 2 to 4 years.
