2022 Sylvain Pataille Marsannay Rouge

Neal Martin - Vinous

The 2022 Marsannay Rouge is a mixture of Domaine and négoce wines (from Pataille's father). Initially, it is a little timid, but it opens nicely with aeration, bringing flinty black fruit with the 80% whole bunches imparting a light pepperiness. The palate is medium-bodied with granular tannins, fresh and vibrant, finishing with a touch of black olive. Points: 88-90
