From this winery
It was 1990 when Jeff Burch crossed paths with Pascal Marchand in the cellars of Domaine Comte Armand in Pommard. A fast friendship quickly formed, with passion for Pinot Noir as its foundation. A decade later they embraced the possibilities of a unique collaboration, and began the Marchand & Burch Collection. Since 2007 Marchand & Burch has grown to represent a sophisticated expression of terroir through fine wines produced in Western Australia’s Great Southern region and the Côte d’Or in Burgundy, France. Three decades on, the friendship endures while the wines tell an exciting, evolving story.

| Harvest | Handpicked. |
| Wine making | Individual grape plots are cooled, hand-selected and then whole cluster pressed to separate the best free juice. In addition, light pressing. After minimal decantation, the juices are left to ferment naturally in 50% old French oak and 50% stainless steel. The oak consists of barriques, hogsheads and puncheons. The fermentation temperature is between 18 °C and 22 °C and the lees are stirred weekly from later in the fermentation until dry. The separate parcels are matured on the lees in casks and tanks for 10 months and a part of each batch undergoes malolactic conversion. |
