Sylvain Pataille Marsannay Rouge 2022 Size::6 Bottle Case The Muscat portion is made

The Muscat portion is made in the same way the domaine makes its reds: whole clusters are layered in a fermentation tank where the weight of the bunches creates enough juice for fermentation to begin spontaneously

The palate is medium bodied with compelling red berry flavours framed by chalky tannins and a savoury character

7 hectare north-facing vineyard is west of CÌÁrdenas

An inky deep auburn wine

The special structure that it demonstrates at an initial tasting destines it for oxidative ageing

Sylvain Pataille Marsannay Rouge 2022 Size::6 Bottle Case The Muscat portion is madeSylvain Pataille is a leading voice in Marsannay, farming biodynamically and vinifying with precision across 15 hectares. His 2022 Marsannay Rouge blends fruit from multiple old vine parcels on limestone scree and clay soils, many planted between 1950 and 1980. Farming is meticulous, with low yields and horse tillage. The wine is fermented with native yeasts and about 30% whole clusters, then aged 12 months in mostly neutral oak and 6 months in tank.
