Domaine Sylvain Pataille Pinotte! 2023

We are delighted to be able to offer this project between Sylvain Pataille and Deja Bu Wines. Pataille is a winemaking tour de force; not only does he farm and make wine from his own 17ha around Marsannay but he also buys in grapes to make more cuvees, such as this one, and works as a consultant oenologist for multiple winegrowers. As he wasn't from a winemaking family, he worked hard to acquire land in Burgundy starting off with just 1ha in 1999. He now farms his 17ha biodynamically. Pataille has been one of the leading proponents in the renaissance of Aligote. He is one of five founding members of the Les Aligoteurs, an association dedicated to showcasing the finest expression of the grape.

Hand harvested grapes undergo whole bunch fermentation without any sulphur additions. The wine is then matured in old oak barrels for a year, followed by a year in stainless steel.  No filtration and minimal sulphur added at bottling.
