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.
"Bright deep purple. A spectacular bouquet, too much fruit to be able to keep it all in one glass, yet beautifully harnessed. Magically intense with a wonderful interplay between the peppery energy of the stems and the magical intensity of the dark red berry fruit. Drink from 2028-2034."
91-93/100, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
