Marsannay Clos Du Roy 2018 Sylvain Pataille
Marsannay Clos Du Roy 2018 is a natural Burgundy wine produced by Sylvain Pataille. This Marsannay was born from the most famous climat of the Clos du Roy municipality, located north of the appellation, at the gates of Dijon, and grows on a limestone clay terroir, from vineyards between 15 and 60 years old. Vinification follows the principles of biodynamic agriculture without the use of chemicals or sulphites. 50% of the fermentation takes place in whole bunches in steel and fiberglass containers, while the refinement lasts for a minimum of two years in old wood, and light filtration before bottling. Marsannay Clos Du Roy by Pataille is bright ruby red with purple reflections; it expresses a complex nose of fruit and spices, while in the mouth it is powerful with a well-present tannin which suggests the great aging potential this wine has.
