Also recommended, but no tasting note given. Sylvain Pataille (for more about whose fascinating projects, consult my report in issue 171) harvested late (starting September 25) and then quickly, strictly selecting his fruit, and netting yields that were very low. He felt confident in retaining a high percentage of whole clusters and stems – as he had in 2005 – but I found astringency and incipient brett diminished the appeal of several wines (cuvees which, unsurprisingly, Pataille took the precaution of filtering this year).
