  April 24, 2016 - Pas super complexe mais très intéressant, au bel équilibre. Fraise, cerise, bois brûlé, épices. Finale moyenne+. Très agréable bien que un peu cher.

  June 25, 2015 - Lovely light and fresh pinot. Sweet black fruit in the nose, silky texture.

  June 13, 2015 - 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.

  June 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$.

  June 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!
