En Auvonnes is found on the lower part of the slope, closer to the D974 on the border of Marsannay and Couchey. Here, the dense marl soil is littered with cailloux calcaires, which brings a positive reductive character to the wine. Pataille works with 0.10-hectare of beautiful Aligoté Doré planted by his grandfather, Armand, in the 1930s. Pépé is shorthand for grandfather in French.

Reviews

“The 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté Auvonnes Au Pépé, named after the lieu-dit on marn soils, has one of my favorite bouquets from Pataille: endearing lemon thyme, pear, and white peach aromas blossom in the glass. The palate is well-balanced with a crisp bead of acidity. It is lightly spiced, but what makes this wine is the lip-smacking salinity on the finish. Very more-ish.”
90-92 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
“Produced from a small plot west of Marsannay village in the lieu-dit En Auvone that was originally owned by Pataille’s grandfather, who planted it in the 1930s, this wine is a beautiful introduction to Pataille’s single-vineyard Aligoté range. Grapefruit and apricot fruit with structure and power on the palate, but enough pleasant, lemony brightness to bring balance. Organic.”
