Musigny Grand Cru Pascal Marchand 2009

The wine

Located on the gentle slopes of Chambolle-Musigny, this grand cru benefits from a unique terroir, characterised by clay-limestone soils rich in stone fragments. The history of Musigny dates back to the 14th century. This iconic appellation has long been prized for the exceptional quality of its wines, often regarded as some of the finest in the world. During harvest, the grapes are carefully hand picked. In the winery, the winemaking process is executed with great attention to detail. The grapes are destemmed before fermenting in wooden vats. The wine is aged in oak barrels, allowing it to refine and develop while maintaining its fresh fruit character and elegant profile.
This red wine unveils a dazzling ruby hue. The nose is an alluring blend of complex aromas including dark cherry, raspberry, and soft spices, with delicate floral notes adding an extra layer of depth. On the palate, the wine offers a silky texture, with fine-grained tannins and a lively acidity that provide a refreshing balance, leading to a long, elegant finish.

About the Producer Marchand-Tawse

Originally from Montreal, Pascal Marchand fell in love with Burgundy's climats on his first trip to France. In 1983 he decided to take the leap and move there. He learnt at Clos des Epeneaux for 15 years before spending a further seven at Domaine de la Vougeraie. In 2006 he launched his own venture as a wine merchant before founding Marchand Tawse with Moray Tawse in 2010. Today, wines are produced across 51 appellations and 25 climats between the Côte de Nuit, Côte de Beaune and Chablis. With Pascal Marchand, we're far from the clichés often heard about wine merchant activity. He works with low yields, respects biodynamic principles in the vines, works only with indigenous yeasts and avoids fining and filtering. Demanding work that provides results, as proven by the success of every vintage produced thus far. He has also acquired properties on the fine appellations of Puligny-Montrachet, Corton Charlemagne and Volnay.
