Community Tasting Notes (average 87.9 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 10 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by Sachaa on 4/24/2016 & rated 89 points: Pas super complexe mais très intéressant, au bel équilibre. Fraise, cerise, bois brûlé, épices. Finale moyenne+. Très agréable bien que un peu cher. (1772 views)
 Tasted by bigberrypicker on 6/25/2015 & rated 86 points: Lovely light and fresh pinot. Sweet black fruit in the nose, silky texture. (2127 views)
 Tasted by Will Devize on 6/13/2015 & rated 88 points: Fresh and frisky with a light blueberry perfume. One of the few bargains left in Burgundy, Pataille's confident but light touch is in evidence here and, whilst this is very pleasant indeed, The 'Chapitre' and 'Longeroie' bottlings are far more serious and ageworthy for only a few quid more. Faded quite a lot on day 2. (1976 views)
 Tasted by bourgogre on 6/11/2015: Domaine Sylvain Pataille, Marsannay 2011

Trace de réduction, qui heureusement s'efface en quelques minutes.
Ce n'est plus le même vin que celui gouté fin 2013.
L'acidité est désormais contenue,
ce qui permet d'apprécier le fruit qui est cependant occulté par un usage excessif du bois neuf.
On pourrait tabler sur une intégration du bois à long terme , mais c'est un 2011,
et je ne suis pas sûr qu'il ait la charpente ou la concentration pour mener à bien cette tâche.
Bon , mais trop cher à 37$.

(**1/2) (2299 views)
 Tasted by pjaines on 6/16/2014: The £16 nobody has any right to buy a decent red from Burgundy but Sylvian Pataille is really making quite a reputation these days. This is is his standard entry level Marsannay and it has lots of stony red fruit with a dash of dry soil. It needs time and it isn't ever going to meet the taste of those looking for more upfront fruit but it is true to its place and has a sense of earthy balance. Time will be kind to this wine, and 3 hours in a decanter does let the structure back off a touch and the black and cherry fruit come through.

I'd be inclined to upgrade to the Longiere and La Montagne for an extra 5 quid if you are in the UK (those are VERY impressive wines).

All in all, an excellent mid-weeker! (2618 views)
 Tasted by jorivesud on 3/6/2014 & rated 87 points: Rubis claire. Au nez, noyaux de cerises, poussiereux. En bouche, cerises rouges, bonne présence d'acidité, Frais. Bien. (1352 views)
 Tasted by Jeanda on 12/1/2013 & rated 88 points: Robe intense. Nez assez discret, floral, avec quelques notes de ronce. Bouche puissante et énergique, très extraite. Le fruit et la finesse sont un peu en retrait mais l'ensemble est cohérent. Aucune note d'élevage. (1118 views)
 Tasted by bourgogre on 11/18/2013: Mystère & Bourgogne -2013 -
Solide acidité. Trace d'acide malique. Un peu astringent, dur.
Aneth et muscade. Encore court et abrupt avec un fruit fugace.
Se calmera peut-être dans 2 ou 3 ans.

Pinot Noir

Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.


Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.

Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.

The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.

Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.

In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.

With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.

Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.

Burgundy

Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson

# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates

# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson

# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson

# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
