Lot presentation

Marsannay Les Longeroies Sylvain Pataille (Domaine) 2018

The wine

Produced using organic and biodynamic farming methods, this parcel-based cuvée has also been vinified naturally. Sylvain Pataille – referred to as "the Pope of Marsannay" – has produced a wine with a particularly attractive, rich bouquet of fruity notes (red berries, ripe plum), intensity and volume. The palate is creamy, silky and full of fruity, spicy notes. Definitely one for cellaring for a few years to get the most out of its evolving complexity.

About the Producer Sylvain Pataille

It's thanks to winemakers like Sylvain Pataille, who put their passion and talent at the service of the great terroir of Marsannay, that this young appellation has earned its place as one of the top wines of the Côte de Nuits. An unmissable signature, that the iDealwine team is particularly proud to have as one of their partner domains.Sylvain Pataille is a young enologist who had to compare his theoretical background with what really goes on in the vineyard. He managed this well and is today considered one of the great wine growers of Burgundy, hot on the heels of people like Jean Fournier. His "L'Ancestrale" cuvée was classified as a grand cru, due to the exceptional length on the palate. Sylvain Pataille studied enology in Bordeaux, but it is Burgundy whose land he defends with all his heart. He has been certified in organic farming since 2008
