Domaine Sylvain Pataille Marsannay Rouge En Clemengeots 2022

$8999

En Clemengeots is a tiny single parcel in the commune of Couchey, an enclave within the prized Champ Salomon lieu-dit, planted in 1951 on argilo-calcareous soil with limestone outcrops. Sylvain Pataille works the site biodynamically and ferments with 50 percent whole clusters before 18 months in barrel with 15 percent new oak. The wine carries a marine inflection that's distinctive in his lineup, a saline edge to its red fruit, violet, and sweet-spice profile. Middleweight Pinot with serious depth and Pataille's signature transparency to place.

"The 2022 Marsannay Clemengeots has a potent marine influence on the nose, with touches of brine influencing the red berry fruit and slight damp peaty soil. The medium-bodied palate has grainy tannins, quite terse at first, but I admire its linearity and strictness. It’s a treat 'em mean kinda Marsannay…and it works like a treat." —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!
