Sylvain Pataille is one of Burgundy’s most thoughtful and meticulous vignerons, quietly redefining what’s possible in Marsannay. Trained as an oenologist in Bordeaux, he began consulting for others before starting his own domaine in 1999 with just one hectare. Today, he farms over 15 hectares biodynamically, focusing on low yields, native yeast fermentations, and minimal intervention in the cellar. Sylvain is deeply committed to the expressive potential of Pinot Noir and Aligoté, working with old vines and historic lieux-dits. His wines are precise, textural, and soulful, anchored in limestone and crafted with the humility and rigor of a true artisan.
From five parcels, including Clos du Roy, this Chardonnay showcases the depth of old vines planted between 1949 and 2012. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for 18 months in barrel (one-third new), it offers vibrant citrus and stone fruit notes with a mineral backbone. Minimal sulfur added at bottling preserves its purity, delivering a precise and elegant expression of Marsannay's terroir.
