From this winery
Marchand-Tawse straddles the line between tradition and innovation, a concept that is both Old World and New World in origin.
Native Quebecois Pascal Marchand seeks to express terroir like the Burgundian he has become over the last three decades, while also embodying his New World roots, where gumption, hard work and forward-thinking foster change.
Joined by fellow Canadian Moray Tawse, this duo is at the forefront of a new wave of vignerons and micro-négociants. Read more

Climate | Hill less steep and cooler than the Chambertin-Clos de Bèze vineyard due to the Combe Grisard at its south extremity, that favours the presence of chill winds from the "mountain". The exposition is ideal, mid-slope, perfectly east facing. |
Soil composition | Quite thin top soil composed of sediments, rocks and silts, laying on a marl bed rock. |
Wine making | Maceration process : 100% destemmed bunches, seven days of cold maceration, two "pigeage" a day at the start of the alcoholic fermentation, then pump-overs during maceration for a gentle extraction. |
Aging | 9 months in new oak barrel and then moved into one year old French oak from Tronçais forest. Operations performed during ageing : one racking after malolactic fermentation. Filtration : no fining and no filtration. All the ageing operations are carried out according to the lunar calendar. |
