🏰Sylvain Pataille's 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté 'Petit Puits' is a testament to the grape's true potential, crafted from nearly century-old vines in Marsannay to deliver a 【world-class expression of Aligoté with remarkable depth and minerality】. Sylvain Pataille is a leading figure in Burgundy, renowned for his organic and biodynamic viticulture and his dedication to elevating Aligoté. This particular cuvée, 'Petit Puits', hails from vines planted in the late 1920s on red clay and limestone soils, showcasing the unique terroir of Marsannay. Expect an elegant and chiselled profile of white fruit like ripe pear and yellow apple, intertwined with candied citrus, hawthorn, and acacia flower. The palate is energetic with lively acidity, a silky texture, and a beautiful fullness, leading to a long, saline, and mineral-driven finish. Notes of hazelnut, freshly toasted bread, and a hint of spice add complexity. 🍴 This versatile white Burgundy shines with fresh seafood such as raw oysters, grilled fish, or shrimp scampi. It's also a fantastic match for fresh goat cheeses, salads with lemon dressing, traditional French bistro dishes like fish terrine or quiche, and even Asian or Indian cuisine. 🥂 Perfect as a sophisticated aperitif, a delightful companion for a seafood dinner, or for any occasion where you want to impress with a vibrant, textural, and truly unique white Burgundy.
