2021 Domaine Sylvain Pataille Marsannay Blanc

This Marsannay Villages comes from five parcels including Les Larreys, Clos du Roy and En Blungey, as well as fruit from newly planted vines in Couchée. The oldest vines in the cuvée date from 1949. It’s fermented and aged for 18 months in 600-litre barrels, and Pataille uses a little new oak.

Other Reviews....
Delivering aromas of pear, yellow orchard fruit, citrus oil and orange blossom, the 2021 Marsannay Blanc is medium-bodied, fleshy and perfumed with a satiny attack, racy acids and a giving, charming profile. Drink 2023-2030.

Raised in demi-muids and pièce on the lees, the 2021 Marsannay Blanc has quite a strict nose, a bit bashful at the moment. The palate has much more going on with orange zest and lime, fine length with bitter lemon on the finish. Worth seeking out. Drink 2024-2030.
