Sylvain Pataille Marsannay Chardonnay 2019
100% Chardonnay. This Marsannay Villages comes from five parcels including Les Larreys, Clos du Roy and En Blungey, as well as fruit from newly planted vines in Couche The oldest vines in the cuvee date from 1949. It's fermented and aged for 18 months in 600-litre barrels, and Pataille uses a little new oak. It opens compact and smoky before unfurling in fleshy layers of nectarine and creamy citrus, while the palate offers a terrific balance of freshness and flesh. Overall, it's a complex and expressive wine with a lovely, precise finish. Punches well above its appellation.
Fermented on native yeasts in cask (one-third new), the old vines give the blend a delicious, ripe apple aroma, with hints of fresh white flowers and a texture that is soft and somewhat broad. Lovely. 92 points, Charles Curtis MW, Decanter
