Marsannay · 14 Rue Neuve, 21160 Marsannay-la-Cote, France
Sylvain Pataille has farmed his Marsannay domaine organically with Ecocert certification since 2008, working a large share of Aligote that he bottles parcel by parcel. The estate is the leading organic name in the northernmost Cote de Nuits village.
Tip: The single-lieu-dit Aligotes are the wines to seek; the organic farming shows in their precision and saline cut.
Pommard · Place de l'Eglise, 21630 Pommard, France
The sole owner of the Clos des Epeneaux monopole in Pommard has farmed organically with Ecocert certification since the mid-2000s and works the vineyard biodynamically, without holding a biodynamic certification label.
Tip: A textbook case for the certified-versus-practising distinction: Comte Armand is Ecocert organic and biodynamic in practice, but is not Demeter or Biodyvin certified.
