Chablis Villages by Marchand-Tawse 2012

Marchand-Tawse skillfully navigates the delicate balance between tradition and innovation, a concept deeply rooted in both Old World and New World influences. Hailing from Quebec, Pascal Marchand, with his rich Burgundian experience spanning three decades, strives to capture the essence of terroir. Simultaneously, he embraces his New World heritage, where practicality, industriousness, and forward-looking perspectives drive transformative change. In collaboration with fellow Canadian Morey Tawse, this dynamic duo stands at the forefront of a burgeoning movement among vignerons and micro-négociants. Together with their partner-growers, they champion organic and biodynamic farming, rejecting rigid dogmas.

Since the year 2010, Marchand-Tawse has diligently acquired village, Premier cru, and Grand cru parcels, even adding the renowned Domaine Maume in Gevrey-Chambertin to their portfolio in 2012. Pascal actively fosters a collaborative spirit in the cellars, working alongside emerging talents like Mark Fincham and Thomas Dinel. The result of this synergistic effort is a groundbreaking fusion style of wines—pure, fresh, elegant, satiny, and aromatic Burgundies that remain faithful to both their varietal character and the unique terroir. This marks a revolutionary shift, unlike anything witnessed in the storied history of Burgundy.
