Sylvain Pataille, Marsannay 'L'Ancestrale' 2021Place: Burgundy, France Grape: Pinot Noir Vibe: Sheesh! Pataille's GC, with fruit sourced from 1940s plantings in his best sites (Clos du Roy, Clmengeots, etc). 100% whole bunch, and a decent stint in barrel before bottling. Geez, this is the one. I had a bottle on the weekend, it lasted all of 30 minutes. Stinks like primo Burgs, all luscious fruit and forest floor. A dream in the mouth too, perfectly integrated tannins and more than enough
