Domaine Sylvain Pataille Marsannay Rouge 2022

100% Pinot Noir

Hand harvested across multiple parcels across Marsannay. Planted between 1950-1980, 30% whole cluster with indigenous yeast and aged in barrel for 12 months (15% new).   Sylvain presses long and slow, uses only indigenous yeast, and adds very little sulfur only at bottling. Aging takes between 15-18 months but can be longer depending on the wine. If a certain vintage and certain vineyard requires 24 months, he will do so, allowing the wine to tell him what it needs as opposed to following any formula.  

This bright and fragrant pinot conjures a beautiful nose of strawberry and rosehip florality, leading to a medium-bodied palate with fresh berry fruits, earthy umami undertones, and rosemary bark.  13% ABV
