What is this wine?

Sylvain Pataille, based in Marsannay, is one of Burgundy’s most respected and original vignerons. Farming biodynamically and working almost entirely with native yeasts and minimal sulfur, he produces wines that are both soulful and precise. While best known for his reds, Pataille is also recognized as one of the modern masters of Aligoté, the often-overlooked white grape of Burgundy.
The Bourgogne Aligoté “La Charmes aux Prêtres” 2022 comes from a small, east-facing vineyard in Marsannay-La-Côte, planted with old Aligoté Doré vines on thin limestone soils over marl. The site’s name—“the charm of the priests”—hints at its serene setting and long history. The wine is fermented with native yeasts and aged in older barrels for roughly 18 months, allowing both texture and mineral precision to shine.

Why get this wine?

This is Pataille’s flagship Aligoté, often compared to Premier Cru white Burgundy for its depth and tension. It combines the grape’s natural brightness with remarkable concentration and length. The 2022 vintage adds generosity and fruit purity to its usual chalky structure, making it one of Burgundy’s most compelling white values—and a collector’s favorite for good reason.

What does this wine taste like?

Vivid and layered, with lemon curd, green apple, almond, and crushed stone aromas. The palate is taut, saline, and textured, finishing long and pure with a chalky, mouthwatering edge.

When should you drink this wine?

Enjoy now for its brightness or age through 2030 for added complexity. Excellent with oysters, goat cheese, or roast chicken with herbs.

Left Domaine Sylvain Pataille

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!
