The estate and the wine |
|
|
A leading name in Marsannay, Sylvain Pataille has earned its place among Burgundy’s greats, gradually expanding its vineyard holdings to 17 hectares.
Awarded one star by the French wine guide RVF, Sylvain Pataille is a passionate advocate for the terroirs of Marsannay and Chenôve, including the often-overlooked Clos du Chapitre. Uncompromising in his approach, he practices rigorous organic farming—using horse-drawn plows—and in the cellar favors ultra-gentle pressing, a high proportion of whole-cluster fermentation, and extended aging (often over two years) with minimal sulfur and about one-third new oak.
The resulting wines are vibrant, honest, and deeply engaging—especially his exceptional Aligotés and remarkable Marsannays, which stand virtually alone in the region for their character and quality. |

The 2023 Red Marsannay is a textbook expression of Pinot Noir, offering a fresh and flavorful palate with both ripeness and depth. It’s a vibrant, concentrated red—already irresistibly drinkable, yet built to age beautifully. |
