Sylvain Pataille, Bourgogne Chapitre

Sylvain Pataille, Bourgogne Chapitre(80% whole cluster). A distinctly spicy nose reflects notes of Asian style tea, black cherry, cassis and floral hints along with a whisper of herbal tea. The lilting and gorgeously textured middle weight flavors also possess really lovely detail and energy while delivering excellent length on the stony, youthfully austere and very firm finale. This too is one to buy and cellar. Lovely juice.

mainly by virtue of reactive and courageous vineyard management

Stony and alkaline

Lovely stuff but once again

floral and tea aromas

and this wine shows little of the ripe

There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the rich

this is aromatically completely different from the nose of the Clos des Forêts with a beautifully elegant and medium-toned nose suffused with highly spiced dark berry fruit liqueur

An exuberantly fresh and spicy nose combines notes of cherry and dark currant with those of plum

wild fungi and crushed rocks plus a waft of powdered cinnamon

Lovely stuff fashioned in an understated style

sandalwood and spice

50% of the volume was fermented with destemmed Cabernet Franc and full-cluster Malbec
