2022 Sylvain Pataille, Marsannay Le Chapitre blc

The 2022 Sylvain Pataille Marsannay Le Chapitre Blanc is a compelling white Burgundy from one of Marsannay’s most respected terroirs. Built around Chardonnay, it shows the precision, saline drive, and mineral depth that have made Sylvain Pataille one of the most admired names in the Côte de Nuits.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it is bright and finely etched, with a pale golden hue that hints at its concentration and energy. The nose opens with concentrated citrus oil, crushed stone, and a cool, saline minerality, while subtle floral and white orchard fruit tones add lift and definition. On the palate, the wine is taut and focused, combining textural richness with striking freshness. The long, mouthwatering finish is marked by exceptional salinity and mineral persistence, giving the wine real complexity and impressive aging potential. It should develop beautifully over the coming years, gaining depth and nuance while preserving its vibrancy.

Production

The result is a wine that feels both concentrated and precise, with a strong sense of place.

Food & Serving
This wine is an excellent match for shellfish, oysters, grilled sea bass, roast chicken with herbs, or creamy risotto with mushrooms.
