Sylvain Pataille Bourgogne Rouge 2022
- TASTING NOTE: âJust bottled. Mid crimson. An energetic pure pinot fruit nose, not ethereal but not massive, just about the fruit. The finish is made a little more severe by the recent bottling, but this is a hugely satisfying crunchy fruit. Persistent for this level. Lovely. Drink from 2025-2028.â 89 points - Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
- ABOUT THE WINE: Described by Rajat Parr as âone of the best [Bourgogne Rouges] in Burgundy,â Patailleâs first red is a blend of parcels from Marsannay and the Hautes CĂŽtes, covering just over one hectare in total. Again, plenty of old vines are in the mix, including one parcel planted in 1956. Each parcel is vinified separately before blending, with various maceration styles involved. The final blend usually includes about 50% bunches. The wine ages in barrel for one year and is not touched by sulphur until bottling. Itâs a delicious red that lives up to Parrâs assessment.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Pataille was born and bred in Marsannay, the northernmost village of the CĂŽte dâOr. His great grandfather was a vigneron, though most of the family vines were sold before his grandfather came of age. Despite this, from a young age, the vineyards of Marsannay were Patailleâs playground. His father, a bus driver, was a great friend of Jean Fournier and would help with pruning and harvest, always with his two boys, Sylvain and Laurent, in tow. Pataille speaks with great affection of these times, and of helping his grandfather tend the familyâs small plot of AligotĂ©âa parcel of old vines that Sylvain still works today and calls Les Auvonnes au PĂ©pĂ© in honour of his forebear. Not only does Pataille run his own 17-hectare, progressive Marsannay Domaine to the highest standards (details below), but he also consults with at least twenty top-flight growers in the CĂŽte-dâOr and CĂŽte Chalonnaise. He insists on not discussing the names of his clients, but letâs just say that there are some extraordinary Domaines on his roster.
