MARCHAND-TAWSE Pascal Marchand

. . definitely a Burgundian winemaker to watch. — Jane Faulkner, THE AGE Style-wise the wines are elegant, charming, forward and quite silky, with a lovely display of terroir and appellation. In other words, wines with a lovely display of fruit – and a lovely drinkability. — Steen Öhman, WINEHOG I’m a big fan of Pascal Marchand and his team’s work – every year there are quite a few gems outside of the quality that I expect from the grand crus. — Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report

The documentary film “Grand Cru” chronicles the career and a season with Pascal Marchand, who was an aspiring poet from Montreal when he first arrived in the mythical land of Burgundy to work the harvest at age 21. Enchanted by the region, he settled there and embarked on an unlikely path to winemaking stardom. Now, over 30 years later, he is renowned as an artist and innovator, finding his inspiration in the ancient techniques of the Cistercian monks who meticulously studied and refined Burgundy’s winemaking in the middle ages. The name Pascal Marchand is synonymous with the resurrection of Domaine Comte Armand in the 1990s. As a Quebec native, Pascal was, on paper, an outsider in Burgundy when he first came to the region in the 1980s. His bright talent, however, quickly saw him at the helm of this historic domaine, to revive its flailing reputation. After leading Comte Armand’s renown to an unprecedented high, he moved on and reinvigorated Domaine de la Vougeraie before eventually striking out on his own, beginning with the inception of his micro-négoce in 2006. Thus what is now known as DOMAINE TAWSE and MARCHAND-TAWSE was born. Blessed with an instinctive understanding of the region’s unique terroirs as well as being an intelligent, sensitive cellar-master, Pascal regularly coaxes out the purest and most captivating expressions of Burgundy with ease and panache. Today, Marchand continues to dedicate most of his time to what he considers to be the most important aspect of the production of great wines: working the vineyard. As one of the earliest proponents of organic/biodynamic farming in Burgundy, Pascal began practicing organic viticulture in the mid-1980s at Domaine Comte Armand. His reputation earned him many friends who own prestigious vineyards around Burgundy, from whom now he sources fruits to augment his domaine’s vineyards. He is also exceptionally influential, successfully persuading many of these growers to convert to organic practices over the years. He believes organic viticulture is the foundation for purity of terroir expression. Today, over 80% of his fruits are either organic or biodynamic, including those he sources from his grower friends. There is simply no “négoce” as committed to perfection in viticulture as Marchand. With the acquisition of Domaine Maume in Gevrey-Chambertin as well as additional purchases of other choice parcels, Pascal's operation now works with a majority of owned vineyards. These are labeled as “Domaine Tawse”. Thomas Dinel, one of Pascal Marchand’s right-hand men Winemaker Pascal Marchand possesses post-modern abilities to coax immense richness from out of the basic appellations in Burgundy. — Michael Godel, WINE ALIGN Pascal Marchand is making increasingly impressive wines under his négociant label — and at every quality level, from village to Grand Cru. — Tim Atkin MW . . what is clear is that the upward trajectory displayed here is not over. — Allen Meadows, Burghound Pascal Marchand’s approach straddles the fine line between tradition and innovation, a concept that is both Old World and New World in origin. Pascal seeks to express terroir like the true Burgundian he has become over the past three decades, while also expressing his New World roots, where gumption, hard work and forward-thinking foster continuous progress. Thanks to meticulous vineyard work, Pascal can vinify gently (to coax out wonderful aromatics) and yet obtain long, complex flavours. As expressive as the wines may be, they always carry a certain je-ne-sais-quoi elegance and the gorgeous perfume that makes Burgundy lovers swoon. Pascal has become one of the most respected personalities in Burgundy’s steeply traditional and highly competitive wine circles. As a friend, we have always known Pascal to be an inquisitive and sensitive wine taster, and it is not wrong to say that his vast tasting and collecting experience has spurred him to constantly evolve his winemaking approach. It is rare to find such humility and diligence, especially in a man who’s more than made a name for himself. We are super excited to offer today the 2018 burgundies from one of our favourite vignerons. Keen-eyed followers will notice that we have added a few more “domaine wines” this time around, although they remain small in quantity. 2018 marks another highly successful vintage at this address. The wines avoid excessive alcohol levels and sport sufficient acidity in order to showcase terroir delineation and energetic tension. These are features found only at the best addresses in the region. While very few tend to mention it, the whites are especially successful this year. The reds, as expected, deserve their accolades. Pascal’s wines always surprise us on the upside, and we expect no less in 2018. The offer is valid until 7 April 2020. Orders will be processed subject to availability and final written confirmation. Some wines have restrictive supplies, so please understand that we may have to allocate them in order to ensure as equitable a distribution as possible. The 2018 wines are estimated to arrive in Singapore in Q1 2021, subject to shipper's final notice. If you are new to this domaine, you may wish to check out their elegantly stylish and perfumed 2017s which have landed and are undergoing final checks by Singapore Customs in our bonded storage right now. (See offer details below.) Full payment is required no later than 7 days after confirmation invoice is sent in order to confirm the purchase. No reservation is allowed and no further discount. All terms and conditions apply.

It has a wonderful bouquet of pure red currant, cranberry, sous-bois and crushed stone aromas that is very delineated and focused. The medium-bodied palate offers a saline entry, superb tension and fine weight, with a pinch of black pepper toward the persistent finish. Superb.” NM 94-96

The palate is succulent and rounded, the 50% new oak nicely integrated, and shows very good definition and persistency on the finish. There is a lovely crescendo here. Impressive.” NM 93-95 “Another big nose but a reductive one. More sleek and mineral – a more dynamic wine. This is a great finishing wine. Love!” Bill Nanson

One of the best Village Crus from Marchand-Tawse.” Neil Martin Vosne-Romanée 2017 S$ 98 / 750 ml 24 bottles “. . has an opulent bouquet of dark cherry, red plum and light rose petal scents. The palate is quite complex for a Village Cru, partly because of the 60- to 70-year-old vines, and the finish is sensual and quite poised. This is definitely worth seeking out, as it punches above its weight.” Neil Martin Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru “Les Corvées Pagets” 2017 S$ 115 / 750 ml 48 bottles “Full, nice energy – of-course some tannin. Supple, flavours that have a nod to the whole-cluster. Long, slowly mouth-watering flavour.
