Bourgogne Le Chapitre Sylvain Pataille (Domaine) 2016

The wine

Sylvain Pataille has elevated the Marsannay appellation to new heights... as this cuvée perfectly illustrates. Although classified under the Burgundy appellation, this wine – which has been aged for 15 to 18 months in barrels (including 35% new wood) – reveals a ruby-red colour rich in notes of small berries, black berries, flowers and spices. The palate reveals a soft, velvety texture with refinement and elegance. Already delicious today, although a few years of keeping will improve it still further.

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
