Sylvain Pataille, Marsannay Blanc 2023 Portugal quickly followed by brooding earthyPlace: Burgundy, France Grape: Chardonnay Vibe: Natural, textural 'Villages level' Pataille, i. e. as good or better than half the appellated stuff in Burgundy. A blend of the Chardy we know and love with the lesser spotted rose Chardy. So complex and beguiling, we've got a layer of baked goods in the form of frangipane and butter, a layer of nectarine and a layer of chalky minerality. Waves upon waves of good stuff, basically. ABV: 12. 5%
