Marsannay "La Charme aux Pretres" 2020 Sylvain Pataille
Marsannay Blanc La Charme aux Prêtes 2020 is a natural wine produced by Sylvain Pataille.
The grapes come from the historic 'Lieu-Dit' which is located in the heart of Marsannay and was historically called Les Rosey. Today, both names can be found on the wines of this area and the quality is among the best in the entire appellation, also offering excellent value for money.
The vineyards face east and are located at an altitude of almost 300 metres, the soils are exceptionally hard and stony and yield incredibly structured and elegant wines, rich in minerality. This Marsannay La Charmes aux Prêtes 2020 ferments spontaneously with indigenous yeasts for 9 months, then ages for 20 months in partially new oak barrels, plus 3 months in steel.
It is a white wine characterised by a complex and deep bouquet of white flowers, mineral salts and citrus fruits, for a well-balanced sip between softness and freshness, with a long savoury finish.
