100% Chardonnay. Pataille has Chardonnay and Aligoté in his 0.17-hectare holding La Charme Aux Prêtres. It’s a beautiful, east-facing, sloping vineyard located at 280 to 320 metres’ altitude. The Chardonnay occupies the top of the slope where the soils are thin, white and rocky. Pataille credits the marl soils here with the smoky, reductive minerality he typically finds in this cuvée. From vines planted in 1949, this wine saw two winters on lees before bottling.

Reviews

“The 2021 Bourgogne Aligoté La Charme aux Prêtres reveals scents of pear, peach, clear honey, fresh mint and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and ample, it's underpinned by racy acids and concludes with a saline finish.”
90 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
“The 2021 Marsannay Charmes Aux Prêtres has quite a smoky, elevated nose with light hazelnut touches. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, impressive concentration with a tight finish that evidences a wine due imminent racking.”
90-92 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
“This ripe, heady wine has lush ripe apple fruit marked by a distinct minerality on the nose and a texture that balances the plump sweetness of the fruit with fresh acidity to drive it to a lingering finish.”
93 points, Charles Curtis MW, Decanter
