The Fleur de Pinot Marsannay RosΓ© 2021 by Sylvain Pataille is a captivating wine that showcases the elegance and complexity of Pinot Noir and Pinot Beurot from the Marsannay, Burgundy region. Sylvain is a highly regarded natural winemaker and consulting oenologist who makes his own wine as well as advises over 15 domaines in Burgundy- he is one busy winemaker! Over time he has built up his parcels to approximately 15 hectares making 12 cuvΓ©es of organically made and farmed red, white and rosΓ© wines (in the process of converting to biodynamic).
This rosΓ© is a rarity in the region; one I feel very fortunate to have found here in the USA.
From vines planted in 1932 (Pinot Beurot planted in clay soils En Blungey), 1934 (clay soils Champforeys), and 1949 ( limestone soils Charme Aux PrΓͺtres). The wines aged in demi-muids (1/3 new) and stainless steel, aged for up to 24 months (18 on average) before bottling.

Imagine a glass filled with the vibrant crimson hue of Marilyn Monroe's lipstick.
As you inhale, a symphony of red berry aromas fills your senses. Ripe strawberries, cranberries, raspberries and white peach dance, the sweetness tempered by a delicate bouquet of floral notes of rose and violet intertwine, adding a touch of elegance and complexity. The whisper of citrus zest, cherry syrup, brioche, cream, white pepper, cinnamon and the mineral undercurrent provide a vast contrast, teasing your palate with anticipation tickling your nose with its earthy forest floor, salted almond and mushroom savory undertones.
The first sip is an invitation to sophistication, a refreshing caress of balance of energetic acidity and sweet, juicy fruit. The wine's texture is silky smooth, with a touch of creaminess that adds a luxurious mouthfeel. The earthy, mineral backbone has such depth and presence. The finish extremely persistent, lingering notes of blood orange zest, roasted mushrooms, marzipan and cinnamon with a subtle saline quality. There are so many descriptors that I could truly go on and onβ¦.
A sensory experience that lingers long after the last sip. It's a testament to the art of winemaking, a harmonious blend of nature and human craftsmanship. As you savor each moment, you'll find yourself drawn deeper into the wine's seductive embrace, a journey of discovery that rewards the senses and the soul.
His Fleur de Pinot Marsannay RosΓ© is a testament to his skill and passion. Period.
