The wines of Sylvain Pataille from Marsannay appeal to a lot. We first encountered his wines in a natural wine fair in caves in Saumur. They were pristine and pure. They possessed a unique energy. He now consults as an enologist in some of the leading estates in the Cote d'Or. He coaxes the individual character of each lieux-dits into each wine.
Sylvain farms biodynamically.
"Decent red purple. The nose though is spectacular, ultra welcoming plums and dark raspberries, quite stunning fruit right across the palate with a gorgeous balanced deep red fruit. Brilliant fruit acid balance. Unmatchable. Drink from 2028-2035. "
92-93/100, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
