Only Sylvain Pataille is crazy enough to make single-vineyard Aligoté: a mere barrel of each, from four tiny plots, of which Les Auvonnes au Pépé is the most southerly. The wine is very different from its siblings: rounder, deeper, creamier, with a wonderful balance of sweetness and astringency, plus a fragrance like salted caramel. Pataille warns that this wine can go up and down in its first year in bottle; to which the solution is, of course, not to drink it then, but to keep it until it blossoms.
