This is really well-made wine with a production of only 829 cases

pear preserves and caramel studded with white raisin and candied citrus peels make for an aromatic display of head-turning intensity and a creamy

Sylvain Pataille, Marsannay Ancestrale Vintage:2022 A creature of its vintage(from a mix of vines that range from 60 to 80+ years of age; 90% whole cluster). A distinctly floral nose is cool and pure with notes of violet, plum and plenty of spice. There is fine intensity to the rich, focused and stony middleweight flavors that brim with dry extract thanks to the old vines, all wrapped in a precise, balanced and beautifully lingering if moderately austere finish. This should age effortlessly and is well worth considering.
