Maison Marchand Tawse Morey Saint Denis Rue de Vergy 2021 (1x75cl)

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 who, with their partner-growers, embrace organic and biodynamic farming practices while rejecting dogma. Together, this team has birthed a new fusion style of wine with pure, fresh, elegant, satiny, and aromatic burgundies that are both true to their varietal and their terroir – a revolution the likes of which Burgundy has never seen before!”An acceptably fresh nose features notes of baked red and dark pinot fruit, plum and spice wisps. The succulent, round and reasonably well-detailed flavors exude a refreshing salinity on the mocha-inflected finish.” – Allen Meadows
