✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Récolte du Domaine' designation by Marchand-Tawse represents the pinnacle of their estate-grown philosophy, distinguishing these bottlings from their négociant operations. Sourced entirely from the estate's own biodynamically farmed parcels across the Côte d'Or, this red Burgundy is a pure expression of Pinot Noir. Pascal Marchand, a Quebecois native who became a legendary figure in Burgundy, alongside Canadian financier Moray Tawse, champions a hands-off winemaking approach. The grapes are hand-harvested, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged in French oak barrels with a minimal proportion of new wood to preserve the bright, crunchy red fruit character and delicate earthy undertones. This wine captures the poetic essence of Burgundian terroir, marrying modern precision with the deep-rooted monastic traditions of the region.
