Wine for sale: Sylvain Pataille
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
WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY...
BETTANE & DESSEAUVE
“This domain’s constancy and nobility of style make it without a doubt the best in a village already full of talented producers. The wines are quite powerful and can be laid down for a long time. They are also drinking beautifully now, with their crunchy fruit and tannins present but never bitter, on the contrary.”
LA REVUE DU VIN DE FRANCE
“This exacting winemaker is committed to maturing his wines for a long time, sometimes more than two years, almost without sulfur. The wines are sincere and full of vitality; they deserve to be more widely known, especially the aligotés, which have truly wowed us."
