Domaine Sylvain PATAILLE - Fleur de Pinot - Rosé 2023
In the heart of Marsannay-la-Côte, in the prestigious Côte de Nuits, Domaine Sylvain Pataille embodies the excellence of artisanal viticulture that respects the natural balance. A trained oenologist, Sylvain Pataille has established himself as one of the most talented winemakers of his generation, renowned for his wines of exemplary precision and rare purity of expression. His approach, guided by biodynamics and unadulterated winemaking, highlights the truest identity of each plot.
The 2023 Fleur de Pinot is much more than a rosé: it's a true interpretation of Pinot Noir in the style of a great Burgundy. Made from old vines planted in limestone soils, it is produced using the saignée method and a small amount of direct pressing, then aged in barrels for several months to reveal its full complexity. This 2023 vintage, marked by an ideal balance between ripeness and freshness, delivers a vibrant expression of the grape variety, both subtle and profound.
On the nose, Fleur de Pinot opens with a refined bouquet of fresh raspberry, wild strawberry, and rose petals, underpinned by delicate hints of herbs and sweet spices. On the palate, the silky, enveloping texture evokes the flesh of a delicate red wine, supported by a mineral backbone and a saline tension typical of Marsannay. Flavors of small red berries mingle with notes of blood orange and grenadine, while the long, lingering finish extends with a chalky, floral touch.
This gastronomic rosé is distinguished by its depth and its ability to complement a dish. It pairs beautifully with veal carpaccio, grilled salmon, herb-roasted poultry, or even a mature soft cheese. Served slightly chilled, it reveals all its elegance and balance.
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
