$89.00
Sylvain Pataille is one of the new breed of winemakers. A highly-regarded consulting oenologist, who still advises over 15 Burgundy domaines, Pataille has in very short order built up a domaine of some 15 hectares, all in Marsannay, the northernmost, and most recent (1987) AOC of the Côte de Nuits.
Sylvain has been organically certified since 2008, and has been employing biodynamics in the vineyards and cellar for over a decade.
Sylvain has at least two parcels on opposite ends of the vineyard. The vines here are old, the youngest being planted in 1949, and consist of Chardonnay, Aligoté, and Pinot Noir for Rosé. Sylvain notes the characteristic reductive minerality despite the change in location, grape, and bedrock. He believes this minerality is so beautiful that it would be a shame to make red wine on this terroir.
Vine Age: Planted in 1932 (En Blungey), 1934 (Champforeys), and 1949 (Charme Aux Prêtres). Vinification: 40-50% directly pressed, indigenous yeast fermentation. Aged for 24 months in demi-muids (1/3 new oak) and tank.
