WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Domaine Sylvain Pataille Bourgogne Rouge 2022 is produced from 100% Pinot Noir grapes. Viticulture follows organic and biodynamic principles, with manual harvesting. Fermentation utilizes native yeasts, and some cuvées incorporate partial whole-bunch fermentation (30-50%). Maceration is typically long with gentle extraction. The wine then ages for approximately 10-18 months, sometimes up to 24 months, in French oak barrels, with a variable percentage of new oak (15-30%) or older barrels. Minimal intervention is a key aspect, with sulfur often added only at bottling.
