Discover Domaine Sylvain Pataille

The Domaine Sylvain Pataille, located in Marsannay-la-Côte within the renowned Côte de Nuits region, represents the pinnacle of innovation and excellence in winemaking. As both a renowned consulting oenologist and passionate winemaker, Sylvain Pataille embodies the revival of this prestigious terroir. Certified in organic farming and practicing biodynamics, he manages each plot with meticulous care combined with a unique sensitivity to the soil.

Terroir and Characteristics

The estate highlights the unique terroirs of Marsannay, especially parcels like Clos du Roy, Champ Forey, and Auvonne. These clay-limestone and limestone soils provide an ideal environment for local grape varieties, with a special focus on Aligoté, a flagship grape that Sylvain Pataille elevates to unprecedented complexity through his single-vineyard cuvées.

Wine Profile

The domaine's red wines, such as l’Ancestrale and Clos du Roy, exemplify a perfect balance of depth, finesse, and minerality. Respectful vinification methods emphasize minimal cellar intervention, long pressings, and precise aging to preserve the vibrant energy and aromatic purity of the grapes.

Food Pairings

Sylvain Pataille’s wines pair wonderfully with refined dishes such as œuf meurette (poached eggs in red wine sauce), coq au vin, Époisses cheese, and roasted quail. These pairings allow the wines to showcase their unique character and finesse alongside rich, flavorful cuisine.

Your questions, our answers.

Which wine should you choose to discover Sylvain Pataille’s work with Aligoté?

Bourgogne Aligoté Champ Forey 2023 is an introduction to this side of the estate. It is part of Sylvain Pataille’s plot-by-plot approach, which pays particular attention to the complexity of this grape variety.

Which pair should you choose to compare two Aligoté plots from the same vintage?

Bourgogne Aligoté Champ Forey 2020 and Clos du Roy 2020 make this comparison possible, with the same vintage and appellation. This is a tasting focused on the expression of each plot, although the information provided does not allow their aromatic differences to be specified.

Which Champ Forey vintages can you compare?

Bourgogne Aligoté Champ Forey is available in the 2020 and 2023 vintages. Bringing these two bottles together allows you to compare the same cuvée, but the information provided does not make it possible to identify which vintage is more powerful or better suited to ageing.

Are the Clos du Roy and Champ Forey cuvées featured here Marsannay wines?

No: the Clos du Roy 2020 and Champ Forey 2020 and 2023 in this selection carry the Bourgogne Aligoté appellation and are white wines. Marsannay is represented here by the 2017 Rosé and the 2012 red Les Grasses Têtes: the name of a plot alone is therefore not enough to identify the appellation.

What winemaking approach guides Sylvain Pataille’s wines?

The estate favours minimal intervention in the cellar, long pressings and precise ageing. This approach aims to preserve the grapes’ energy and aromatic purity while allowing the terroirs to express themselves.
