Domaine Sylvain Pataille Bourgogne Aligoté "Champ Forey" dry white 2020

Please note, in order to limit the addition of the preservative sulfur (SO2) at the time of bottling, Sylvain Pataille may intentionally leave "too much" CO2 (natural, resulting from alcoholic fermentation, with no impact on the wine) to protect the wine from oxidation. If this is the case (which is quite rare), do not hesitate to decant this Aligoté and let it rest in the carafe until the excess gas (which may make the wine slightly sparkling, but is completely neutral!) dissipates.

The winemaker's word:

Domaine : "My domaine covers 14 hectares located solely in the Marsannay appellation; becoming a winemaker has been evident to me since a young age. As a consulting oenologist, I took over a hectare of vines on lease in 1999, then the area increased to two hectares in 2000 and 4 hectares in 2001, the year I left the lab to fully dedicate myself to the domaine and a small consulting activity. 2002 saw a significant evolution with the expansion to 10 hectares and especially the arrival of beautiful parcels.
Moreover, since the 2008 vintage, the domaine has transitioned to organic and subsequently obtained the Ecocert label."
