Marsannay Rouge “Les Longeroies” 2023 – Sylvain Pataille

Overview

The Marsannay Rouge “Les Longeroies” 2023 by Sylvain Pataille is a remarkable expression of the Marsannay-la-Côte terroir. Coming from the prestigious “Les Longeroies” plot, planted on oolitic white limestone and marly soils, this 100% Pinot Noir reveals outstanding finesse, depth, and minerality. The 2023 vintage shows a perfect harmony of fruit concentration and freshness, offering a profile that combines elegance and power, ideal for long aging.

Wine History

“Les Longeroies” is one of the oldest and most respected terroirs in Marsannay, adjacent to the “Clos du Roy”. The vines, aged between 60 and 80 years, produce naturally low yields and concentrated fruit. Sylvain Pataille’s goal has always been to restore the prestige of Marsannay through precision and respect for tradition. The 2023 harvest benefited from balanced conditions, leading to grapes of great purity and vitality, perfectly expressing their origin.

Vineyard Philosophy

In the “Les Longeroies” vineyard, Sylvain Pataille practices organic and biodynamic viticulture, emphasizing minimal intervention and soil vitality. The old vines grow on oolitic limestone slopes, bringing density and tension to the Pinot Noir. Natural composts, manual care, and controlled yields result in healthy grapes rich in aromatic complexity. This sustainable approach captures the purest voice of the Marsannay terroir.

Winemaking Approach

Winemaking follows the principle of “minimal intervention, maximum expression.” Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts, gentle maceration, and careful temperature control to preserve fruit purity. The wine is aged 15–18 months in French oak barrels, about one-third new, achieving balance between texture and transparency. Bottled without aggressive filtration, it retains finesse, structure, and a refined mineral finish.

Tasting Notes

Color: deep ruby with garnet reflections and luminous clarity.
Nose: complex aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, violet, and undergrowth, with notes of tobacco, cocoa, and wet stone.
Palate: silky yet structured, with fine tannins, lively acidity, and a mineral, persistent finish that hints at long aging potential.

Food Pairing

Ideal with roasted lamb, duck breast with pepper sauce, or delicate game dishes. Excellent with mushrooms, mature cheeses, or rich meat-based recipes. Its elegant texture and freshness make it perfect for fine dining or contemplative tasting.

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.
