Bourgogne Aligoté Champ Forey Sylvain Pataille 2020 is a white wine sourced from a single parcel in Marsannay, Burgundy, where 60-year-old vines thrive on limestone-rich soils. The wine, crafted by Sylvain Pataille, who is known for his focus on terroir expression, showcases a production method that includes vertical pressing and extended fermentations using indigenous yeasts in seasoned oak barrels. With an alcohol content of 12.5%, this cuvée exhibits a profile marked by saline notes, lemon oil, and flinty reduction. It is aged on the lees for 12 months without bâtonnage, contributing to its structural tension and a clean, crystalline finish that sets it apart from more commercial styles.
