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.
"A lovely glowing mid red, with a fresh strawberry note, plenty of energy, and very good acidity. A lovely and lively wine with a very long finish. Drink from 2025-2029. "
