"88-90 Points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy - 4 Stars
From Marsannay and the Hautes Côtes. Dense purple. Immediately concentrated pinot on the nose. Pretty impressive substance for a 2023 pinot with lovely lift at the end. The fruit is more cherry than the little red berries, with good acidity and excellent persistence. Drink from 2026-2029"
Sylvain Pataille is one of the leading lights of Marsannay and the northern reaches of the Côte de Nuits, widely admired for his meticulous vineyard work and pure, terroir-focused wines.
