Crafted as an elegant introduction to the classic terroir of Burgundy, the Marchand-Tawse Bourgogne Pinot Noir showcases the meticulous standards of Pascal Marchand and Moray Tawse. Sourced from carefully selected parcels across the Côte d'Or, this wine is a tribute to the region's ancient viticultural heritage, which was shaped over centuries by Cistercian and Benedictine monks. The grapes are hand-harvested and vinified using native yeasts, followed by aging in French oak barrels with a minimal proportion of new wood. This traditional, low-intervention approach preserves the vibrant, pure red fruit character—such as wild cherries and raspberries—complemented by subtle earthy undertones and a delicate, silky tannin structure that defines authentic Burgundian Pinot Noir.
