Inspired by her love of Burgundy, Domaine Nico is Laura Catena’s passion project. Using 30-year-old Dijon clones planted in her family’s legendary vineyards, she and her team have created some of the most compelling Pinot Noir on the market by leaning into their incredible high-altitude terroir.
Planted at over 3600 feet above sea level in pristine limestone soil, Domaine Nico’s Grand Pere is an ethereal expression of Pinot Noir. The slow ripening amplifies the bright fruit while keeping acid high and alcohol low for a result that is, if nothing else, distinctly Burgundian. Leaning into bright fruit with earthy, herbal tones running throughout the wine, everything is perfectly structured, with exceptional tannin and a lean, mineral body.
94 points Tim Atkin, MFW
"Grand Père only uses the 115 clone and uses material from older vines. The whole bunch component is an assertive 50% here, giving the wine structure and layers of clove and tobacco leaf. Racy, savoury and spicy, it has fine tannins, bright acidity and the faintest hint of oak sweetness."
James Suckling: 96 Points
"Scented grapefruit, red berries, minerals, freshly sliced strawberries and moss. Really pure, bright, tense and ethereal in form. Extremely long, juicy and so transparent. Beautiful and impeccable."
Vinous Media: 92 Points
“The 2022 Grand Père originates from Villa Bastías in the Uco Valley and was aged for ten months in French oak, 18% in a 20-hectoliter foudre and 82% in third-use barrels. A bright cherry red in the glass. The nose presents herbal and fruity notes such as sage, sour cherry, subtle earthy undertones and delicate oaky aromas. The palate is lean, taut and refreshing. The interplay of tart flavors and the finely-grained, reactive tannic structure makes for a lively, dynamic experience before the long, compact, complex finish.”
