Sylvain Pataille is a consulting enologist to some of the biggest names in the Côte d'Or (Christophe Roumier is among his clients) and recently began his own domaine. His approach in the vineyards and the cuvérie is to make wines as naturally as possible. From village vines averaging over 50 years of age, this is quite possibly the best under-$20 Pinot Noir in all of Burgundy! Lightish in body, this is all about freshness and drinkability. An exceptional value, this is a wine to consider buying by the case, as all of Pataille's 2007s are now sold out at the domaine.
