Earthy, spicy, and stony notes imbue the bright, crisp berry fruit of this pedigreed village wine with balance, austerity, and a powerful, fresh finish.

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Village comes from the estate's own biodynamically-farmed vines. It has a bright and vivacious bouquet with more mineralité than the Sélection. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, quite chiselled and taut with a vibrant finish. This is very refined.

Domaine. 20% whole bunch vinification and 20% new wood. A very pretty cherry purple colour, with a lively tingle for the whole bunches on top of an undoubted elegance of fruit. There is a succulence on the palate, with the fruit cascading through to a fine long finish.
Marchand-Tawse straddles the line between tradition and innovation, a concept that is both Old World and New World in origin. Native Quebecois Pascal Marchand seeks to express terroir like the Burgundian he has become over the last three decades, while also embodying his New World roots, where gumption, hard work and forward-thinking foster change. Joined by fellow Canadian Moray Tawse, this duo is at the forefront of a new wave of vignerons and micro-négociants who, with their partner-growers, embrace organic and biodynamic farming practices while rejecting dogma.
Gevrey-Chambertin, located in the Côte de Nuits, is celebrated for producing some of the most prestigious and powerful Pinot Noir wines. Known for their rich flavors, complexity, and depth, Gevrey-Chambertin wines often exhibit notes of blackcurrant, cherry, earth, and spices, with robust tannins and excellent aging potential. The region's diverse terroir, comprising limestone and marl soils, significantly influences the wine's character. Gevrey-Chambertin is home to nine Grand Cru vineyards, including the famous Chambertin and Clos de Bèze, as well as numerous Premier Cru sites, all contributing to its reputation as a top Pinot Noir-producing area in Burgundy.
