Part of this blend is Chardonnay Rosé, a rare pink-skinned old strain of Chardonnay that almost nobody in Burgundy still bothers with — Pataille kept his, and it gives the wine a texture and perfume ordinary Chardonnay doesn't. The bottling is assembled from five Marsannay parcels, including Blungeys and Clos du Roy, with plantings running from 1949 and 1951 through to the 2000s. Farming is certified organic with biodynamic work; the grapes are slowly pressed on a vertical press, ferment on ambient yeasts, and age 12 to 18 months in mostly used barrels with minimal sulfur at bottling. Marsannay is the only village in Burgundy allowed to bottle red, white and rosé under its own name, and the whites are still the least-known third of that trio. 2022's warm, sunny season gave a wine with real flesh that kept its freshness.

"Firm reduction overshadows the fruit today though there is good freshness to the sleek, racy and delineated middle weight flavors that possess slightly better complexity on the super-refreshing, clean and bracingly dry finale. This should also drink well young or with 2 to 3 years of cellaring." —Allen Meadows

"The 2022 Marsannay Blanc is a blend of several parcels. It was fairly reduced on the nose when I encountered it. The palate is more promising—much more—finely balanced with perfectly judged acidity, tangible mineralité, and a delicacy on the finish that I appreciate. Give it 12 months once in bottle." —Neal Martin

More about 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!
