Marsannay Fleur de Pinot Sylvain Pataille (Domaine) 2008

The wine

Sylvain Pataille has produced a highly unusual rosé wine that is akin to a truly great white wine. It is made for keeping, and has a salmon-pink appearance, aromas of fresh red berries and flowers. The palate is particularly full bodied, aromatic and long in the mouth. This wine is produced from Pinot Noir grapes cultivated in limestone soils according to biodynamic and (certified) organic principles. It is vinified naturally in tanks with native yeasts. The wine is matured for two years in demi-muid barrels and in one-year-old casks. It is then left to age in the cellar for a year. It is a true gourmet wine, which will form a perfect pairing with quality fish and fine meats.

About the Producer Sylvain Pataille

It's thanks to winemakers like Sylvain Pataille, who put their passion and talent at the service of the great terroir of Marsannay, that this young appellation has earned its place as one of the top wines of the Côte de Nuits. An unmissable signature, that the iDealwine team is particularly proud to have as one of their partner domains.Sylvain Pataille is a young enologist who had to compare his theoretical background with what really goes on in the vineyard. He managed this well and is today considered one of the great wine growers of Burgundy, hot on the heels of people like Jean Fournier. His "L'Ancestrale" cuvée was classified as a grand cru, due to the exceptional length on the palate. Sylvain Pataille studied enology in Bordeaux, but it is Burgundy whose land he defends with all his heart. He has been certified in organic farming since 2008
