What is this wine?

Sylvain Pataille, based in Marsannay, is one of Burgundy’s leading champions of Aligoté. Since founding his domaine in 1999, he has become renowned for meticulous organic farming, native yeast fermentations, and minimal-intervention cellar work.
The Bourgogne Aligoté 2022 is sourced from old-vine parcels around Marsannay and the northern Côte de Nuits, planted on limestone-rich soils. Fermented and aged in older oak barrels for texture and complexity, it shows the depth and purity that have made Pataille’s Aligotés some of Burgundy’s most sought-after whites.

Why get this wine?

This is serious Aligoté, made with the same care and attention as top Premier Crus. Pataille elevates the grape to fine-wine status, balancing freshness, texture, and terroir expression. In magnum, it’s even more compelling—ideal for aging or sharing at the table.

What does this wine taste like?

Bright and precise, with lemon, green apple, crushed shell, and white blossom aromas. The palate is chalky and linear, with a subtle creaminess from long lees aging and a mouthwatering saline finish.

When should you drink this wine?

Delicious now for its tension and purity, but it will develop more complexity over 5–8 years in magnum. Pair with oysters, goat cheese, or roast poultry.

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!
