✨ Technical Specifications
Marchand-Tawse applies their signature Burgundian precision and biodynamic philosophy to this sparkling Crémant de Bourgogne Brut. Crafted primarily from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from cool-climate, limestone-rich vineyards across Burgundy, this wine is produced using the traditional method. It undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle and is aged on its fine lees to develop complexity. The result is a sparkling wine that beautifully balances the vibrant, crisp acidity of Burgundy's terroir with a delicate, creamy mousse and subtle notes of toasted brioche, white flowers, and fresh citrus. It represents a harmonious bridge between the house's dedication to terroir expression and the celebratory heritage of Burgundian sparkling winemaking.
🍾 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.
