Marsannay En Clemengeots 2023 – Sylvain Pataille
Overview
The Marsannay En Clemengeots 2023 by Sylvain Pataille is a precise and elegant expression of Pinot Noir from one of Marsannay’s most characterful climats. It reveals the harmony between minerality and fruit, balance and depth. The 2023 vintage brought ideal ripening conditions, resulting in a wine that is both refined and vibrant. Pataille’s mastery lies in translating the energy of the terroir into a bottle that speaks of finesse and authenticity.
Wine History
“En Clemengeots” is a historic parcel of Marsannay, located on limestone and marl soils that give the wine both tension and aromatic breadth. From this distinctive slope, Sylvain Pataille draws a Pinot Noir that captures the essence of its origin — elegant, detailed, and resonant. This cuvée is the fruit of his desire to honor the unique voice of each vineyard, presenting an unadorned and deeply Burgundian interpretation of terroir.
Vineyard Philosophy
In the Clemengeots vineyard, cultivation follows biodynamic principles, emphasizing the vitality of the soil and the balance of the plant. The vines, many of them mature, are tended by hand throughout the growing season. No herbicides or synthetic treatments are used; instead, Pataille relies on natural preparations and gentle tilling. Low yields concentrate the fruit’s purity, while the limestone subsoil imparts distinctive mineral length and precision.
Winemaking Approach
In the cellar, Pataille pursues a philosophy of natural precision and restraint. Grapes are fermented spontaneously with native yeasts, with partial whole-cluster inclusion to enhance aromatic lift and fine tannic structure. Macerations are gentle, with minimal intervention. Aging takes place in French oak barrels, a small proportion new, allowing the wine to gain complexity without losing its brightness. The result is a Pinot Noir of balance, elegance, and striking minerality.
Tasting Notes

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.
