Blanc Beurot

Sylvain Pataille
A rare treat from Marsannay, crafted by one of the Côte de Nuits' most thoughtful growers. Sylvain Pataille works his vines organically, with low yields and a gentle hand that lets the fruit speak for itself. The grape here is Pinot Beurot, an old local cousin of Pinot Gris, planted on limestone-rich slopes that give real tension and depth. Fermented with wild yeasts and aged in barrel, it offers notes of white peach, pear, honeyed spice and a subtle smoky edge, all carried by a lovely saline finish. Pour it with roast poultry, soft cheeses or simply on its own.
