Domaine Sylvain Pataille, Marsannay L'Ancestrale

A floral bouquet with dried rose petals infusing the small dark cherries and blackcurrant fruit. There is also just a hint of orange rind developing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with firm grip on the entry, fine acidity and structure, grainy in texture with a long masculine finish. This wine is crafted from some of the estate`s oldest vines, many over 70 years old, which are rooted in the region’s iron-rich clay soils. Pataille employs long macerations and minimal intervention in the cellar, aiming for a pure expression of terroir that reveals complex aromas of dark fruit, earthy notes and subtle spice.
