Bourgogne Aligoté “Longeroies” 2023 – Sylvain Pataille

Overview

The Bourgogne Aligoté “Longeroies” 2023 by Sylvain Pataille is a white wine of remarkable character and finesse, showcasing the true potential of this historic Burgundian grape. Sourced from a single parcel on the slopes of Marsannay-la-Côte, it expresses the mineral depth and saline precision that define the region’s finest terroirs. The 2023 vintage brought perfect ripeness and balance, yielding a pure, tension-driven wine that embodies elegance and authenticity.

Wine History

The “Longeroies” vineyard lies on one of the most prized slopes of Marsannay, facing east and composed of stony, limestone-rich soils. These conditions allow the Aligoté grape to achieve aromatic complexity and structural finesse. Sylvain Pataille, a leading figure in Marsannay’s viticultural revival, vinifies this plot separately to highlight its distinctive mineral intensity. “Longeroies” reflects both Burgundian heritage and Pataille’s modern craftsmanship — a wine of patience, precision, and grace.

Vineyard Philosophy

The vineyard is farmed according to biodynamic principles, respecting natural cycles and promoting soil vitality. The Aligoté vines are densely planted and carefully tended by hand. Manual harvesting ensures the integrity of each grape, allowing for a pure translation of terroir. The calcareous, rocky soils give the wine its striking minerality and lively acidity, creating perfect balance and freshness.

Winemaking Approach

Winemaking follows a philosophy of minimal intervention. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with native yeasts, preserving the grape’s natural character. The wine matures for several months in used French oak barrels, resting on fine lees without filtration or fining. This process enhances texture and complexity, while maintaining the tension and freshness that define Pataille’s precise, terroir-driven whites.

Tasting Notes

Color: bright straw yellow with golden reflections.
Nose: aromas of ripe citrus, green apple, hazelnut, and flint.
Palate: linear and vibrant, with lively acidity, great balance, and a long, saline finish.

Food Pairings

Perfect with seafood, shellfish, or delicate fish dishes. Excellent with fresh goat cheese, vegetable risottos, or refined vegetarian cuisine. A pure and gastronomic Aligoté that enhances any dish with its precision and energy.

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.
