Sylvain Pataille Marsannay Rouge Le Chapitre 2022

93 points Jasper Morris Decent red purple. The nose though is spectacular, ultra welcoming plums and dark raspberries, quite stunning fruit right across the palate with a gorgeous balanced deep red fruit. Brilliant fruit acid balance. Unmatchable. Drink from 2028-2035. Tasted: November 2023. 92 points Vinous The 2022 Marsannay Rouge Le Chapitre, one of the only cuvées that had been racked, has a pure black cherry and boysenberry-scented bouquet that opens nicely in the glass. Fine delineation—one of the most powerful. The palate is well-defined with blackcurrant and bilberry fruit. A vertical Marsannay with a strict finish. It will need two or three years in bottle.
