2021DomaineSylvainPataille,MarsannayL’Ancestrale,CotedeNuits,France

<p>‘L’Ancestrale’ is drawn from 60–80-year-old Pinot Noir on Marsannay’s hillsides, cropped at very low yields of about 20 hl/ha. Fermentation is natural with roughly 50% whole clusters and gentle pump overs, followed by about 24 months of élevage: a higher share of new barrels in the first year, then once-used wood to knit the texture while letting the fruit speak.</p><p>This wine is offered from a private cellar, Terms and Conditions for Private Cellars apply. </p>
