Domaine Sylvain Pataille Marsannay "La Charme aux Prêtres" dry white 2022

RVF Guide of the Best Wines of France 2026 (Sept 2025): 94/100. Les Charmes aux Prêtres delicately smoked, very refined and mouthwatering, more radiant and mouthwatering in its length.

Technical sheet written by the domaine:

My domaine covers 14 hectares solely located in the Marsannay appellation; becoming a winemaker has been obvious since a young age. Then an oenologist-consultant, I took over a hectare of vines for lease in 1999, then the area expanded to two hectares in 2000 and then 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 major evolution with the expansion to 10 hectares and especially the arrival of beautiful plots.

Moreover, the domaine is certified organic (since 2008) and is currently undergoing biodynamic certification with Ecocert."

Marsannay blanc 'La Charme aux Prêtres' needs time to blend and express itself.

Grape Variety: Chardonnay 40%, 25 years on average.

Terroir: La Charme aux Prêtres. Shallow soil with very calcareous bedrock and red clays on the surface, which gives this wine a very strong minerality.

Vinification: Aging for 2 years in barrels with 2/3 new barrels the first year and 1/3 in the second part of aging. Alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts, aging on lees and light stirring (2 or 3 times).

Bottling after 24/27 months of aging depending on vintages and tastings (at least 20 months in barrels then 3 months of clarification in tank) with light filtration to avoid stripping the wines.
