Starting his domaine in the late 1990s with just a few hectares, Pataille has steadily built a reputation as a meticulous vigneron and a reference point for terroir-expressive, organically farmed Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Working as both consultant oenologist and estate grower, he has pushed the region toward higher standards, embracing organic and biodynamic practices long before they were fashionable. Today, his wines—especially cuvées like Le Chapitre—are considered benchmarks for Marsannay and are sought after by Burgundy lovers for their purity, authenticity and remarkable value relative to more famous Côte d’Or appellations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sylvain Pataille","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54255510880593,"sku":"XW-54609","price":108.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/sylvain-pataille-marsannay-rouge-le-chapitre-2022_54609_1_5886704e-5ec8-4e56-a2d0-44303a1ba706.webp?v=1783459289"},{"product_id":"marsannay-clos-du-roy-domaine-pataille-sylvain-2023","title":"Marsannay Clos Du Roy Domaine Pataille Sylvain, 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eMarsannay Clos du Roy 2023 from Domaine Sylvain Pataille is an expressive red Burgundy from one of Marsannay’s best-known vineyard sites.
