2020 Domaine Sylvain Pataille Bourgogne Aligoté "La Charme Aux Prêtres"

Decanter
Review Date: 03/2023Focused aromas of lime and tarragon. The texture is crisp, almost taut, but the vibrant acidity is perfectly balanced by the dense concentration. Pataille explains that this east-facing site has more clay in the soil, yielding a wine with more structure. He ferments in cask (one-third new) and ages the wine for 24 months before release. Powerful and could use a couple of years in bottle before opening. (CC)

Notes
Winemaker Sylvain Pataille strongly believes in letting the vines lead the way. He promotes little intervention, as well as organic and biodynamic wines. His use of Aligoté, often referred to as "Burgundy's other white grape", has made him something of a pioneer in Burgundy. Not only does he embrace Aligoté, but he also goes so far as to produce single-vineyard bottlings. In the process, he has brought greater attention to the Marsannay region, as well as shown that the lesser known Aligoté captures the soul of Burgundy as much as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay do.
