✨ Technical Specifications
Marchand-Tawse's Bourgogne Blanc is a beautifully crafted expression of classic Burgundian Chardonnay, showcasing the elegance and tension that define the region's white wines. Sourced from meticulously selected parcels across the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, this wine benefits from the estate's commitment to organic and biodynamic viticultural practices. Historically, the monks of Burgundy spent centuries identifying the finest soils for Chardonnay, and this regional bottling honors that legacy by blending fruit from diverse terroirs to achieve a harmonious balance. Vinified using indigenous yeasts and aged in French oak barrels with minimal new wood, it reveals vibrant aromas of green apple, fresh citrus, and white blossoms, underpinned by a signature flinty minerality and a textured, gently creamy finish derived from fine lees aging.
🍾 About the Producer
Maison Marchand-Tawse was established in 2011 through the partnership of legendary Quebecois vigneron Pascal Marchand and Canadian entrepreneur and winery owner Moray Tawse. Based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, the enterprise operates both as a boutique micro-négociant and a domaine estate, having expanded significantly with the acquisition of the historic Domaine Maume in Gevrey-Chambertin in 2012. Marchand, an early vanguard of biodynamic and organic viticulture in Burgundy during his tenures at Comte Armand and Domaine de la Vougeraie, collaborates closely with resident winemaker Mark Fincham. Together, they farm their estate plots organically and biodynamically, while sourcing rigorously from partner growers across premier and grand cru sites in the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. In the cellar, vinification emphasizes ambient yeasts, calculated whole-cluster inclusions, restrained extraction, and sensible oak élevage to safeguard fruit transparency and energetic mineral tension. Benchmark cuvées include their Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru, Musigny Grand Cru, and terroir-expressive Premier Crus from Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée, and Puligny-Montrachet.
