Sylvain is a bit of a mad scientist, but also a truly talented and meticulous winemaker in Marsannay. He makes his wines as naturally as possible, while maintaining pure, terroir driven style.

Sylvain Pataille is one of those rare vignerons whose hard work and dedication has elevated the overall quality and public perception of the wines in his village. Sylvain, and his brother Laurent, now farm 15 hectares of vineyards located exclusively in Marsannay. They have been pushing hard to designate some of the special terroir there as 1er Cru, and it will likely happen soon. When you shake Sylvain's hands you are reminded that these are hands that work really hard! They are rough as sandpaper because he is out in the vineyards 11 months of the year. Sylvain is also a very talented chemist who so excelled at his classes in Bordeaux that he in the consulting enologist at 15 or so great domaines in Burgundy including Domaine Roumier in Chambolle-Musigny and Château de la Tour in Clos Vougeot. He is very passionate and devoted to his domaine in Marsannay which he built from nothing. His first vintage was in 1999. Like Bruno Clair he is an indefatigable champion of the village of Marsannay.

Sylvain has been organically certified since 2008, and has been employing biodynamics in the vineyards and cellar for over a decade. With the exception of small amounts of sulphur when needed, there are no additions whatsoever. His wines are both “natural” and completely classic . . . black magic!

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 90
"The 2021 Marsannay Rouge takes time to really unfold on the nose, red cherry and mulberry scents, a touch of spiciness and baking powder. The palate is well balanced with finely-chiselled tannins, quite racy acidity with a nervy finish. Will be easy to drink in its youth but partnered correctly." -Vinous

Robert Parker

RP 90
"The 2021 Marsannay is fleshy and charming, bursting with aromas of raspberries, plums and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, textural and seamless, with lively acids and a saline finish, it's derived from parcels dotted all over the appellation."

Decanter

D 95
"Le Chapitre in Chenôve is among the finest in the northern Côte de Nuits, yet this is among the first vintages elevated to village status. Pataille farms just over a hectare at mid-slope with orange-brown rocky limestone soils (grèzes litées) which give the wine a pronounced mineral concentration. The fruit expression is pomegranate/ raspberry; there is a hint of reduction, which will pass, and a spicy depth to the nose. The texture is tannic and fresh, with plenty of substance and a lingering finish."
