This terroir is regarded as one of the best in Marsannay and is expected to become a premier cru soon. In the glass a beautiful shining ruby. The nose smells of cherry, blackberry, and raspberry, with a slight spicy flavor. Fresh and almost vibrant in the mouth, with a medium and round body, fine and elegant tannins. The acidity is pleasant and the finish is both clean and elegant. Another great Pataile wine, of an interesting vintage. It has the potential to evolve again in the years to come.

Medium to dark ruby colour. Floral notes, dark cherry, red berry fruit, blueberry, vanilla, coconut, and iron-like minerality, with medium acidity, slightly grainy but well integrated tannin, and great persistence. Creamy texture. The oak comes through at this young age. Riper and fuller than one would expect. Stood up to a rib-eye steak. More integrated on day two. Drink now if you enjoy the creamy oak, or hold and wait for the oak to subside.

Medium ruby appearance. What I thought was pronounced fresh blackcurrant/blueberry for me but closer to Decanter’s note of violet and strawberry once it had been open for a while. Some vanilla and cloves, leather and tobacco. Medium +, ripe tannins. High acidity. Medium alcohol and body. Medium flavour intensity - blackcurrant, cloves, tobacco/leather.
I enjoyed this a lot. Very drinkable. Could age more.

Wow, this wine lived up to the hype. Truly phenomenal and a bargain at $55 for Burgundy.
