Sylvain Cathiard En Orveaux Premier Cru 2008 from under 0.3 ha

The En Orveaux vines of Sylvain Cathiard cover less than 0.3 ha, and the 2008 comes from that holding alone. En Orveaux is a Premier Cru of Vosne-Romanée, and the wine is a dry red made from 100% Pinot Noir. The 2008 comes in a 0.75 L bottle. The Côte de Nuits, where the vineyard lies, produces mainly red wines from Pinot Noir. The domaine’s plantings are all Pinot Noir on limestone with a marl-rich clay overlay.
