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.
Marsannay Rouge 2021 is drawn from several parcels across the appellation, planted on limestone and clay soils that give both structure and freshness. The 2021 vintage was cool and classical, marked by lower yields and high natural acidity, favouring finesse over power. The wine shows bright red cherry, raspberry and subtle earthy notes, with fine tannins and a lifted mineral edge, capturing both the elegance of the vintage and Pataille’s restrained, site focused style.
