Sylvain Pataille Bourgogne Aligote
Bright fresh and complex, with minerals and citrusy notes, a generous mouthfeel and mouthwatering acidity. Fermentated in stainless steel with indigenous yeast before ageing for 12 months. Only minimal sulphur added only at bottling.
From vineyards 200-300 meters above sea level, from two different plots: one characterized by calcareous and pebbly soils, the other with a clayey-marly matrix with vineyards of an average age of 50 years.
Sylvain Pataille is a young winemaker, trained in Bordeaux and bringing a fresh approach to Burgundian winemaking. A dedicated advocate of organic and biodynamic practices, he now oversees a range of vineyards scattered across Marsannay. With minimal yields, biodynamic viticulture and a gentle winemaking approach using only indigenous yeasts and minimal sulphur, Sylvain produces extraordinary wines known for their remarkable balance, seamless texture, and a distinct minerality that reflects the essence of Marsannay's great terroir.
Over the years, Sylvain has become the leading proponent of the re-appraisal of aligoté. A grape which has many similarities to chardonnay, both were first grown in Burgundy in the 17th century and are natural crosses of pinot and gouais blanc – two of Western Europe’s most ancient and prolific progenitors.
