March 9, 2018 - There is so much hype surrounding Sylvain Pataille, not least the recent Noble Rot feature proclaiming S.P to be a rising star. I was expecting something decent, or if to believe the talk perhaps something excellent. Sadly 2 identical bottles were shy on the nose with a very hard/dry palate with a bitter finish, light body. Void of the silky, sweet scented, lifted fruit or pretty elements that a half decent Burgundy should offer. Sadly; stalky, green, bordering on unpleasant. Diam closure and no cork taint. Perhaps 2014 was not the right year for this cuvée though I believe an excellent producer can produce perhaps not memorable but at least enjoyable btls in a difficult vintage.
