Produced from a small plot west of Marsannay village in the lieu-dit En Auvone that was originally owned by Pataille’s grandfather, who planted it in the 1930s, this wine is a beautiful introduction to Pataille’s single-vineyard Aligoté range. Grapefruit and apricot fruit with structure and power on the palate, but enough pleasant, lemony brightness to bring balance. Organic. - Decanter, 93 pts, Top Value
60% from Champ Forey (limestone and gravel soil), 40% from Auvonnes (clay, marl soil with small stones). Certified organic, biodynamic methods.
