WINEMAKER'S NOTES

Sylvain Pataille, a master of the Aligoté variety, produces this exceptional wine using organic and biodynamic practices. Handpicked from two distinct plots, the grapes undergo fermentation with indigenous yeasts, divided between stainless steel and old barrels to enhance complexity. This meticulous process, including a year-long maturation and minimal filtration, highlights Pataille's dedication to reviving Aligoté.
