With a patchwork of vines covering over two hectares, this is arguably Pataille's signature red cuvée. The vineyards are spread across Chenôve, Couchey and Marsannay-la-Côte. All the vines were planted between 1950 and 1980, with the youngest being 40 years old. The wines are all aged in a mixture of used barriques and several old demi-muids (600lt). The final blend includes around 80% whole bunches.

Other Reviews....
The 2021 Marsannay is fleshy and charming, bursting with aromas of raspberries, plums and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, textural and seamless, with lively acids and a saline finish, it's derived from parcels dotted all over the appellation. Drink 2023-2033.

The 2021 Marsannay Rouge takes time to really unfold on the nose, red cherry and mulberry scents, a touch of spiciness and baking powder. The palate is well balanced with finely-chiselled tannins, quite racy acidity with a nervy finish. Will be easy to drink in its youth but partnered correctly. Drink 2024-2032.
