Sylvain Pataille Marsannay Blanc 2022

$52.99 on 6+ (code: 6saves2)$54.99 reg(89-91) pts VinousThe 2022 Marsannay Blanc is a blend of several parcels. It was fairly reduced on the nose when I encountered it. The palate is more promising—much more—finely balanced with perfectly judged acidity, tangible mineralité, and a delicacy on the finish that I appreciate. Give it 12 months once in bottle. - By Neal Martin on November 2023 Size: 0.17 ha (0.42 ac) Variety: Chardonnay, Chardonnay Rose Vine Age: Planted in 1949, 1951, 1989, 2009, and 2012 Terroir: Blend of 5 different Marsannay parcels including Blungeys and Clos du Roy Viticulture: Certified organic Vinification: Gentle pressing, indigenous yeast fermentation.
