2022 Sylvain Pataille - Marsannay 750ml

• Sylvain Pataille is known for his organic and biodynamic farming practices, focusing on minimal intervention in the winemaking process. This means the wine is typically made with very few added sulfites, and the goal is to showcase the true nature of the fruit and terroir.
• Pataille often uses traditional methods, with fermentation in whole clusters and aging in French oak barrels (though usually with a lighter touch on the oak to preserve the purity of the fruit).

A large single plot measuring 1 hectare, planted by “massal selection” (the traditional method of selecting suitable reproductive material from the best plants, in a particular farm or other holdings) in the 1930s on marly soil with southern exposure, on the border of the communes of Puligny-Montrachet and Corpeau. Rich soil, particularly suited to the production of “generic” Burgundy appellations (Chardonnay, Aligoté and Pinot Noir).

Tasting:

Ideal drinking window of 2 to 3 years – variable depending on transport and storage conditions.
Ageing potential of 5 years – variable depending on transport and storage condition
