Raspberry with something more vegetal alongside. On the palate, the raspberry dominates the front of the mouth completely, then the fruit becomes more complex with added tension towards the back. Another magical 2023 from Sylvain Pataille. Very persistent once again. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Dec 2024.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e90 points Vinous Media\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eDrinking window:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2026\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e-\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2036\u003cbr\u003eThe 2023 Marsannay le Chapitre Rouge was a bit sullen on the nose when I tasted it from barrel, especially in comparison with Pataille's other reds. The palate is medium-bodied with solid tannins, but I find this a little drier on the finish at the moment. Maybe here I might have used less than the 100% whole bunch. I will be prudent with my score for now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSize:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1.05 ha (2.61 ac) \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eVariety:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Pinot Noir \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eVine Age:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1\/3 of vines planted each in 1950, 1980, 1990 \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTerroir:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Moderate to sleep slope, facing east.

It has a moderate to steep slope and faces east. When the Marsannay village appellation was created in 1987, the entire villages of Couchey and Marsannay, but only the southern part Chenôve was included. Because Le Chapitre lies north of the village, it was left out, yet, it is indisputably one of the greatest vineyards in this area. In his cellar, Sylvain pours it after his Clos du Roy. With the 2019 vintage, the INAO finally changed the classification of this vineyard from regional to village-level. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The gravelly, calcium-rich soil is light in texture and light, pinkish brown in color. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeology:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The majority of Le Chapitre sits on a thick layer of grèzes litées.
