Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Jun 17
An absolutely stunning wine, the 2015Bourgogne Rouge Chapitre is a reference point example of what Marsannay can be. Beautifully delineated aromatics and nuanced fruit bristle with youthful intensity. A kick of tannin on the finish adds further character in this hauntingly beautiful, compelling Marsannay from Sylvain Pataille. I tasted the 2015 from two samples aged in different cellars. Both were compelling.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 28 Dec 16
The 2015 Bourgogne le Chapitre has a lively blackcurrant and raspberry bouquet with autumn leaf and tobacco aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, one of the most structured wines from the domaine this year, a little austere towards the finish that initially feels introspective but finds its voice after a few minutes. There is a wonderful saline aftertaste here that bodes well for the future. Perhaps this has more secrets up its sleeve?
