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.

Wine making | The individual parcels of grapes are cooled, hand sorted then whole bunch pressed to separate the finest free run juice. In addition a light pressing cuts is taken and made separately for later blending. After minimal settling, the juices are allowed to ferment naturally in 50 % older French oak and 50% stainless steel. The oak is composed of barriques, hogsheads and puncheons. Fermentation temperature is between 18 °C to 22 °C and the lees are stirred weekly from later in the fermentation until dry. The separate parcels are matured on lees in barrel and tank for 10 months and a portion of each batch undergoes malolactic conversion. |
