Marsannay Fleur de Pinot 2023 – Sylvain Pataille

Overview

The Marsannay Fleur de Pinot 2023 by Sylvain Pataille is an ode to the elegance and purity of Pinot Noir in its most delicate and refined form. This is a rosé of depth and tension, combining the aromatic grace of Burgundy with the minerality and freshness of its terroir. Conceived as a vin de gastronomie, it transcends the idea of a simple rosé, offering a wine of structure, longevity, and identity, crafted with the precision and soul that define Pataille’s work.

Wine History

“Fleur de Pinot” was born from the desire to give Marsannay rosé its rightful place among the great wines of Burgundy. The cuvée comes from a selection of Pinot Noir parcels planted on limestone and clay soils, carefully chosen for their balance and aromatic potential. The name “Fleur” evokes the most graceful and floral essence of the grape, a tribute to the finesse and vibrancy that characterize the heart of Pinot Noir.

Vineyard Philosophy

In the vineyards, Sylvain Pataille follows strict biodynamic principles, cultivating each vine by hand and respecting the natural rhythm of the seasons. The soils are alive, worked without herbicides or synthetic inputs, using only organic and biodynamic preparations. The yields are intentionally low to achieve concentration and finesse. This careful viticulture results in grapes of great aromatic purity and energy, perfectly reflecting the minerality of Marsannay.

Winemaking Approach

In the cellar, the Marsannay Fleur de Pinot 2023 is crafted with extraordinary delicacy. The Pinot Noir grapes are gently pressed to extract only the finest juice. Fermentation takes place spontaneously with native yeasts, preserving the natural character of the fruit. The wine is aged in French oak barrels of second and third use, maintaining its tension and aromatic complexity. Minimal intervention allows the wine to evolve naturally, guided by the rhythm of the vintage.

Sylvain Pataille Winery

The History of Sylvain Pataille

The Sylvain Pataille Winery was born in the heart of Marsannay-la-Côte, in the Côte de Nuits, one of Burgundy’s most fascinating regions. Founded in the early 2000s, the estate represents the vision of an oenologist trained among the greatest names of the region, determined to rediscover Marsannay’s authentic identity. Sylvain, a true son of Burgundy, began with just a few hectares and an uncommon determination: to give voice back to the terroir. Over the years, the estate grew to become a symbol of a new generation of independent winemakers, capable of combining tradition, technical precision, and ecological awareness. Each harvest is a testament to a coherent journey rooted in patient observation of nature and a deep understanding of the soil.

Philosophy in the Vineyard

In the vineyards, Sylvain Pataille follows an approach of organic and biodynamic viticulture, certified and deeply respectful of natural balance. The vines, some over fifty years old, are cared for with artisanal dedication, avoiding synthetic chemicals and favouring natural treatments. The goal is to preserve soil life and enhance the expression of Marsannay’s terroir — a mosaic of marl and limestone capable of producing complex and profound wines. Pruning, soil management, and controlled yields lead to healthy, concentrated grapes in which the beauty of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay finds its purest, most authentic form.

Approach in the Cellar

Inside the cellar, Sylvain Pataille’s philosophy is clear: intervene as little as possible to express as much as possible. Fermentations occur with native yeasts, and temperature control is minimal to respect the natural evolution of the wine. Macerations are extended gently, allowing a slow and harmonious extraction of tannins. Vinifications take place in wooden and steel vats, followed by ageing in used oak barrels to respect fruit purity. Each wine is bottled without heavy filtration or clarification, preserving aromatic integrity and original structure. Meticulous attention to detail makes every cuvée an honest reflection of its place of origin.

A Visionary of Marsannay’s Terroir

Today, Sylvain Pataille is recognised as one of the great interpreters of contemporary Burgundian terroir. His wines, deeply mineral and vibrant, have helped restore Marsannay among the most respected appellations of the Côte d’Or. His vision unites scientific rigour and human sensitivity: he is an oenological consultant for many producers in the region, yet remains deeply connected to his land. His name stands for authenticity, balance, and territorial identity. Each bottle signed by Pataille is the result of absolute coherence between thought and gesture, vineyard and cellar, man and nature.
