2022 Domaine Sylvain Pataille Marsannay L'Ancestrale

如果說 Marsannay 有一位靈魂人物，那必定是身兼頂級釀酒顧問與自然農法先驅的 Sylvain Pataille。這款 L'Ancestrale 是酒莊的絕對旗艦，集合了產區內數個極具歷史的石灰岩古老地塊，樹齡動輒八十甚至上百年。Sylvain 堅持生物動力法耕作，採用整串全枝帶梗天然發酵，並在舊大橡木桶中緩慢培養，完全不作人工雕琢。開瓶後，杯中散發出鮮採野草莓、黑櫻桃伴隨乾燥玫瑰花瓣與森林泥土的深沉芳香；入口酒體骨架堅實，礦物張力澎湃，單寧如絲綢般包覆味蕾，餘韻帶著一抹誘人辛香與純淨鹹感。這不是一瓶隨波逐流的量產酒，而是一杯能讓人重新定義風土極限的藝術品。

Domaine Sylvain Pataille stands as the undisputed benchmark of northern Côte de Nuits, with Sylvain himself revered as one of Burgundy's most gifted consulting oenologists and natural winemaking pioneers. L'Ancestrale is the crown jewel of the domaine, born from exceptionally old vines across Marsannay's most prized limestone-rich terroirs. Sylvain employs whole-cluster fermentation, ambient yeasts, and gentle extraction in old oak demi-muids, letting the terroir express itself without cosmetic makeup. On the palate, it unfolds with pure wild red fruits, crushed rock salinity, dried floral nuances, and an exotic hint of spice. The tannins are remarkably fine-grained yet commanding, supported by a spine of energetic acidity that drives a long, seamless finish. A benchmark bottle that punches far above its appellation hierarchy.
