Sylvain Pataille Marsannay Rouge 2019
With a patchwork of vines covering over two hectares, this is arguably Pataille's signature red cuvée. The vineyards are spread across Chenôve, Couchey and Marsannay-la-Côte. All the vines were planted between 1950 and 1980, with the youngest being 40 years old. The wines are all aged in a mixture of used barriques and several old demi-muids (600lt). The final blend includes around 80% whole bunches.
A very fresh and quite cool nose freely offers up its array of red berries, earth and floral nuances. The sleek, delicious and impressively intense flavors culminate in a precise, focused and sneaky long finale. If this can add depth with a few years of bottle age, it could merit the upper end of my projected range. Drink from 2024+. 89-91 points Allen Meadows - Burghound
The 2019 Marsannay Rouge comes from domaine and purchased fruit from Pataille’s father. Plenty of crunchy cranberry and strawberry fruit that soars from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with cranberry, raspberry and strawberry fruit, but its that chalky texture that really makes an impression. Very minerally on the finish. Drink 2022-2030. 89-91 points
