Product Description

“Le Chapitre” is one of Marsannay’s most historically revered vineyards—considered for Premier Cru status—and Sylvain Pataille treats it accordingly. From low-yielding, organically farmed vines, this Pinot Noir is fermented with a significant portion of whole clusters and aged in neutral oak to reveal its deep minerality and finesse.

• Biodynamic farming & hand harvesting

• Wild yeast fermentation with partial whole-cluster

• Gentle aging in older oak barrels to preserve terroir

This 2023 release offers striking clarity, precision, and the structure for long aging.

Tasting Notes

• Aromas of black cherry, violet, rose petal, and wet stone

• Silky yet vibrant palate with forest berries, spice, and saline tension

• Long, mineral finish with fine-grained tannins and energy

Serving Suggestions

Serve slightly cool (15–16 °C):

• Excellent with roast poultry, veal, or duck confit

• Try with mushroom-based dishes or herbed lentils

• Perfect with aged cheeses and charcuterie
