This wine is from France, Burgundy region, Cote De Beaune sub-region and Corton appellation. In 2006, Pascal Marchand, who had forged an international reputation as a brilliant winemaker over more than two decades, launched a new Burgundian micro-negociant business under his own name. A native of Montreal and an adventurer at heart, Pascal began his career in wine working the harvest at Chateau de Chorey-les-Beaune in Burgundy in 1983. He returned the following year and quickly established himself as one of the region's rising stars after being hired by the Domaine du Comte Armand in Pommard. Little known before then, the Domaine and its Premier Cru monopole vineyard Clos des Epeneaux quickly gained renown and Pascal's wines became recognized by prominent journalists and aficionados as reference points for Pinot Noir's modern style. After 15 years at Comte Armand, he took on a new challenge in 1999, working with the Boisset family to launch their showcase estate, the Domaine de la Vougeraie - one of the most ambitious projects the region had seen since World War II. The association with the Boissets also led Pascal to further expand his horizons, consulting on their projects in Beaujolais, Minervois, California, Canada and South America. Since leaving the Boisset group in 2006, Pascal has established himself independently as a winemaker and consultant - in Burgundy at Domaine Jean Fery et Fils; in Sonoma, California at Joseph Phelps' Freestone Winery; in Niagra, Canada at Tawse Winery; in Australia at Carlei in South Yarra and Heathcote, Prancing Horse in Mornington Peninsula, Turner's Crossing in Bendigo, and with his own brand Marchand & Burch, which he founded with his friend Jeff Burch in Western Australia. Finally, he continues to work with VC Family Estate in Chile and Argentina, whose collection of brands includes Veranda, a brand Pascal had launched with Boisset in 2002. Today, Pascal's personal passion and commitment to working with Burgundy's most distinctive terroirs is realized through his new negociant business, which has grown to encompass 36 appellations of the Cotes de Nuits and a few, mainly for white wines, from the Cotes de Beaune. The production, which has reached 6,000 cases, is now being marketed under a new label: Marchand & Tawse, since Pascal formed a partnership with long-time friend and business associate Moray Tawse. The fruit for these wines is sourced from growers Pascal knows and trusts, and vineyards with a minimum of 35 years of age. All are perfectly maintained. Many are farmed organically, which is not surprising since Pascal has been a leader in the use of organic and biodynamic methods through the years. All of his operations are carried out according to the lunar calendar. The wines are vinified and matured in cellars in the heart of Nuits-St.-Georges, using barrels selected from two specialized artisanal coopers. The wood is selected from the best plots in the forests of Alliers, Cher, Compeigne, Fontainbleau, Jupille and Oise. The staves are seasoned for 4-5 years and the barrels are toasted very lightly and slowly. The wines speak directly of their origins and of the sensitivity Pascal has cultivated throughout his remarkable career.. Sourced from 40 year old vines in Le Rognet and Corton that face east and are planted mid-slope. Vineyard soils are primarily loam, mixed with ferruginous colite and limestone. The fruit was destemmed, briefly cold macerated and punched down twice/day during alcoholic fermentation. After fermentation, the wine received additional maceration, for a total of 25 days. The wine was then vertically pressed and aged for 22 months in lightly toasted Allier oak (100% new). Bottled directly from barrel, the wine was only racked once. PINOT NOIR Wine French Still Wine

This wine is from France, Burgundy region, Cote De Beaune sub-region and Pommard appellation. In the world of wine, Pommard hardly needs an introduction. From time immemorial, Pommard has been the site of famous vineyards. Around the year 1 000, the whole side facing South-East was covered with vines. According to tradition, it already produced a wine reputed for its depth of colour and its ability to travel far and wide. To-day, Pommard is one of the largest villages in Burgundy. The village is on a slope, in the middle of a group of vineyards facing East or South-East. The soil, a mixture of red clay and limestone, is responsible for the wine's original qualities : good colour, intense bouquet and firm structure. Pommard can only be a red wine, produced from the Pinot Noir grape. To insure low yields, the vines are pruned very short, in the Guyot style. The grapes are picked by hand and put in small crates to avoid damage during transportation to the winery. The fermentation occurs in open wooden or stainless steel fermenters. The total maceration generally lasts 15 to 18 days. The wine is kept in barrels for 18 months before bottling. According to the vintage, it is sometimes better to wait at least two years before drinking the wine. . Pommard has a lovely and powerful complex nose reminiscent of black cherries and spices. On the palate, it has a good structure with generous fruit and subtle tannins.. This great red Burgundy deserves a more traditional cuisine : red meat in light sauces, game, venison and ripe cheeses will create a rich tapestry of flavours worthy of a medieval feast.

This wine is from France, Burgundy region, Cote De Nuits sub-region and Flagey Echezeaux appellation. This Grand Cru is admirably situated right above Clos Vougeot, another Grand Cru, on a gentle slope facing due East. Le Musigny is just to the North. The Drouhin family owns a vineyard there. The average age of the vines is twenty-five. Replanting is done very selectively to avoid having too many young vines at one time, which would lower the quality of the wine. No fertilizers are used and a very severe pruning (the Guyot style) reduces the yield even further. The harvest is always done by hand. The vinification follows the classic method : the grapes, sometimes not even destalked, are gently pressed ; the fermentation and maceration occur in wooden open vats with punching down of the cap and pumping over the juice. It lasts about 18 to 20 days. The must is then put in oak barrels (Allier, Vosges or Troncais forests). Left to age for about 18 months, it is fined with egg-whites prior to bottling. . Echezeaux has a beautiful, vivid red colour, and elegant aromas reminiscent of cocoa and exotic wood such as cedar. On the palate, the tannins are dense but refined. They leave a soft impression, similar to velvet. An old Burgundy saying, this wine has save (sap), would be a very apt description here. The long, persistent aftertaste recalls the dark chocolate flavour. . A carefully prepared cuisine would enhance Echezeaux superbly : slowly cooked stews, duck or pheasant, ripe cheeses, etc. PINOT NOIR Wine French Still Wine

This wine is from France, Burgundy region, Cote De Beaune sub-region and Puligny Montrachet appellation. The central part of the Cote de Beaune comprises an area predestined to produce great white wines, and Puligny-Montrachet is certainly one of its most glorious examples. The clay and chalky soil, which is very stony, has good drainage and warms through easily. The Chardonnay is the unique grape variety used to produce these great white wines. The House of Joseph Drouhin brings to the making of these wines its utmost care, in the respect of tradition. At the time of harvest, usually around mid-September, the grapes are hand-picked in small cases, then brought to the winery en Chavet, in Beaune. The grapes are gently pressed. The juice settles down for few hours before going into oak barrels. Once the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are completed, the wine is racked off its lees. It is aged in oak barrels for 9 to 10 months. The wines of Puligny possess a whole range of very distinguished and distinctive aromas : almond paste, fern, exotic fruits, amber and white flowers. Their acidity on the palate is rather subtle, allowing the intense smoothness and impressive lingering taste to come through. . Shellfish cooked in a light wine sauce (court-bouillon) or any delicate fish (such as Dover sole) prepared grilled or poached. CHARDONNAY Wine FRENCH STILL WINE

... Read more
This wine is from France, Burgundy region, Cote De Beaune sub-region and Meursault appellation. Meursault, as a wine village, goes back to Gallo-Roman times. The origin of the name Meursault itself is somewhat controversial. Some people believe it is derived from the Latin Muris Saltus translated as jump of a mouse. More probably, it comes from an old Celtic root, mare, meaning swamp : the lower part of the village is actually on very flat land. During the Middle-Ages, the monks realized that there were wide distinctions between the vineyards. They also started to give them names related to the general aspect of the fields or the kind of vegetation they bore. One such vineyard was planted with juniper trees : it became Genevrieres. Another one was very stony : they called it Perrieres. As a matter of fact, the soil of Perrieres has a very hard and chalky soil. It has a light brown colour with many broken stones that reflects the sun during the day. It is dry, poor, and the roots of the vines have to go deep into the soil to find water. The grape variety is Chardonnay 100%. At harvest, the grapes are hand-picked and pressed very gently in a pneumatic press. The juice starts to ferment naturally in barrels. The malolactic fermentation is always left to follow its course. The percentage of new oak varies with the vintage, never exceeding 40%, so that oak never dominates the fruit. During the next nine or ten months, the wine slowly matures in barrels and develops its complexity. . The bouquet of Meursault Perrieres is not only elegant and refined but also very complex. Among all the Premier Crus of Meursault, it is the most reserved and it always takes a few minutes for the wine to fully develop its aromas and flavours. It is a wine of great distinction.

This wine is from France, Burgundy region, Chablis sub-region and Chablis 1er Cru appellation. The Chablis region, the most northern of the Burgundy wine regions, is divided into four appellations: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru and Chablis Grand Cru. The whole region covers 7,500 acres, but the Premier Crus, all grouped around the little town of Chablis, south-east of Auxerre in the Yonne department, cover just under 1,500 acres. Historically, the best exposed and most favored slopes in the Chablis appellation have been the south-facing Grands Crus, followed by the Premiers Crus, of which there are officially 29 different “lieu-dits' or named vineyards, of which 12, such as “Fourchaume' and “Montee de Tonnerre' are well-known individually. If more than one Premier Cru is blended together before bottling, the individual names may not be used. The Laboure-Roi wine is a blend of Chablis vineyards with 70% originating from the famed Fourchaume vineyard. Average age of the vines is 25 years.. Wine Review Online September 2010 Chablis Premier Cru 2006 - Wine Review Online------------------------------------------If you’ve ever wondered what everyone’s talking about when they mention ”minerality” in a wine, try a top-flight Chablis. The limestone soils and cool climate combine to produce Chardonnay that is flinty and mineral driven rather than ripe and fruity. The Laboure-Roi Premier Cru Reserve is an excellent example of a Chablis that hits it just right between the elements of fruit and minerals.------------------------------------------ Critics Challenge International Wine Competition 2010 Silver Medal Chablis Premier Cru 2006 - Critics Silver, 2010 Critics Challenge------------------------------------------Pineapple, seawater. Mallow on palate. Golden apple, very dark, brown sugar.------------------------------------------ Wine Spectator June 30, 2008 89 New Releases: France------------------------------------------Sleep and racy, offering lemon, yellow plum and grass notes. This is austere on the finish, but has persistence, so give it some time to find its balance. ------------------------------------------. 12.5% abv. Serve chilled at around 50-52 Fahrenheit, with shellfish, fish, poultry (grilled or in a sauce), and creamy cheeses. CHARDONNAY Wine French Still Wine

This wine is from France, Burgundy region, Cote De Beaune sub-region and Chassagne Montrachet appellation. Situated in the South of the Cote de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet is one of the five villages making up the prestigious Cote des Blancs (the slope of the whites). It also produces a red wine. The white wines come mainly from brown clay and limestone soils. The slopes face East and South-East. The Chardonnay is the only grape variety used for the whites. Chardonnay was the favourite grape of Charlemagne. He granted land and Roman cellars in Burgundy to the monks with the stipulation that they expand plantings of this marvellous vine. During the Renaissance, the Dukes of Burgundy claimed these vineyards and cellars for themselves, the best of which are to-day part of the vast Drouhin family estate. This superb white wine comes from the estate of the Marquis de Laguiche, the largest owner of Le Montrachet. Since 1947, Maison Joseph Drouhin has the entire charge of the estate, from the cultivation of the vineyards to the vinification of these two famous wines and their distribution around the world. The grapes are picked by hand in small crates, then carefully brought to Joseph Drouhin winery in Beaune. After a slow and gentle pressing, the juice ferments in 228 litre oak barrels. The percentage of new oak varies with the vintage, never exceeding 40%, so that oak never dominates the fruit. The wine stays in barrels for 9 to 10 months. . Chassagne-Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche has a lovely gold green colour. The nose is elegant, with pear, vanilla and apple as the dominant flavours. The wine is well balanced and round with a nice fruity finish. Very long and complex, this is a superb example of a great Chardonnay from Burgundy. CHARDONNAY Wine French Still Wine

It is the sole estate in Burgundy to produce only Grand Cru wines with the further advantage of holding the single largest contiguous parcel in Corton-Charlemagne.The current winemaker and proprietor, Jean-Charles le Bault de la Moriniere whose family is only the third set of owners in over twelve centuries, calls hiswine the product of light rather than heat . The vineyard's unique west and south west aspect significantly increases the exposure of light on the vines, without running the risk of excessive heat. The estate’s 11.09 hectare holdings, the largest in the appellation, are in contiguous parcels in the heart of the Charlemagne ‘climat' - 6.57 hectares within commune of Aloxe-Corton and 4.52 in Pernand-Vergelesses. There are 15 parcels totaling 9.5 hectares of Chardonnay which produce Corton-Charlemagne and a single parcel of 1.5 hectares of Pinot Noir from which small quantities of Corton Rouge are made. Each parcel is vinified separately and offers unique qualities to the final assemblage. The soils range from limestone, marl and clay on the upper slope, imparting a floral elegance to the wines, to limestone with iron topsoil below which lend body and ripeness. For many, Domaine Bonneau du Martray is Corton-Charlemagne - one of the very greatest of all Grand Cru white Burgundies, synonymous with a style that combines elegant reserve with remarkable balance, concentration and purity.. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are brought immediately to the cuverie for pressing. The Domaine is at an advantage here given that the vineyards are in one block and in close proximity to its cellars in Pernand-Vergelesses. After pneumatic pressing, alcoholic fermentation generally begins in small stainless steel vats after pre-fermentation maceration at low temperature. Fermentation - both alcoholic and malolactic, is then carried out in barrels from Alliers and Nevers, 30% of which are new. The malos are completed slowly and naturally, without being induced by heating the cellars, and the lees are stirred gently. The wines are normally in barrel for 12 months before being racked and transferred back to stainless steel for 6 months, then bottled without filtration. CHARDONNAY Wine French Still Wine

Perhaps no other region in California is as well-adapted to this traditional Burgundy varietal as the Central Coast. Here, cool coastal breezes allow fresh acidity to remain intact in the fruit, and the long, extended growing season provides full flavor development in the grapes. Hand-picked at peak ripeness, this Chardonnay was barrel fermented in French oak, aged on the yeast lees for one year, then carefully bottled with minimal handling to ensure that suble flavors remain intact. Crisp and refreshing, our Chardonnay is an ideal accompaniment to grilled seafood or poultry, and also complements mildly flavored cheeses. The winea s rich texture, the result of regular stirring of the lees, further provides a big mouthfeel to this classically structured white wine.

This wine is from France, Burgundy region, Cote De Nuits sub-region and Gevrey Chambertin appellation. In 2006, Pascal Marchand, who had forged an international reputation as a brilliant winemaker over more than two decades, launched a new Burgundian micro-negociant business under his own name. A native of Montreal and an adventurer at heart, Pascal began his career in wine working the harvest at Chateau de Chorey-les-Beaune in Burgundy in 1983. He returned the following year and quickly established himself as one of the region's rising stars after being hired by the Domaine du Comte Armand in Pommard. Little known before then, the Domaine and its Premier Cru monopole vineyard Clos des Epeneaux quickly gained renown and Pascal's wines became recognized by prominent journalists and aficionados as reference points for Pinot Noir's modern style. After 15 years at Comte Armand, he took on a new challenge in 1999, working with the Boisset family to launch their showcase estate, the Domaine de la Vougeraie - one of the most ambitious projects the region had seen since World War II. The association with the Boissets also led Pascal to further expand his horizons, consulting on their projects in Beaujolais, Minervois, California, Canada and South America. Since leaving the Boisset group in 2006, Pascal has established himself independently as a winemaker and consultant - in Burgundy at Domaine Jean Fery et Fils; in Sonoma, California at Joseph Phelps' Freestone Winery; in Niagra, Canada at Tawse Winery; in Australia at Carlei in South Yarra and Heathcote, Prancing Horse in Mornington Peninsula, Turner's Crossing in Bendigo, and with his own brand Marchand & Burch, which he founded with his friend Jeff Burch in Western Australia. Finally, he continues to work with VC Family Estate in Chile and Argentina, whose collection of brands includes Veranda, a brand Pascal had launched with Boisset in 2002. Today, Pascal's personal passion and commitment to working with Burgundy's most distinctive terroirs is realized through his new negociant business, which has grown to encompass 36 appellations of the Cotes de Nuits and a few, mainly for white wines, from the Cotes de Beaune. The production, which has reached 6,000 cases, is now being marketed under a new label: Marchand & Tawse, since Pascal formed a partnership with long-time friend and business associate Moray Tawse. The fruit for these wines is sourced from growers Pascal knows and trusts, and vineyards with a minimum of 35 years of age. All are perfectly maintained. Many are farmed organically, which is not surprising since Pascal has been a leader in the use of organic and biodynamic methods through the years. All of his operations are carried out according to the lunar calendar. The wines are vinified and matured in cellars in the heart of Nuits-St.-Georges, using barrels selected from two specialized artisanal coopers. The wood is selected from the best plots in the forests of Alliers, Cher, Compeigne, Fontainbleau, Jupille and Oise. The staves are seasoned for 4-5 years and the barrels are toasted very lightly and slowly. The wines speak directly of their origins and of the sensitivity Pascal has cultivated throughout his remarkable career..

This wine is from France, Burgundy region, Cote De Nuits sub-region and Vosne Romanee appellation. North of Nuits-Saint-Georges, the village of Vosne-Romanee produces some of the best known wines of Burgundy, Romanee Conti and Richebourg being the most famous.The clay and limestone soils are particularly well suited to the production of great red wines. The unique grape variety used is the Pinot Noir. At Joseph Drouhin, we want all of our wines to be the best expression of their terroir, which is why typicity is very important. Grapes are picked by hand. Fermentation is traditionally in open wooden fermenters. The young wine then stays in barrels for an average of 18 months before being bottled. The wines of Vosne-Romanee are above all elegant. Their smooth richness is balanced by a certain amount of tannins and acidity. They have plenty of body, with a long, powerful and lasting aftertaste which brings to mind the smell of cherries, strawberries and undergrowth. PINOT NOIR Wine French Still Wine

This wine is from France, Burgundy region, Cote De Beaune sub-region. This white Grand Cru of the Cote de Beaune is a wine of imposing power, venerated by wine lovers all over the world. Situated right below Le Montrachet, its soil has a slightly different component : a brownish limestone mixed with a lot of gravel. This exceptional terroir causes the Chardonnay grape to act merely as the messenger between this unique subsoil and the wine itself. The grapes are always picked by hand and brought immediately to the winery in Beaune. A delicate pneumatic press is used so as to retain as much as possible of the immense potential of this precious juice. It is then allowed to ferment in partially new oak barrels. Twelve or thirteen months later, the wine is bottled.. With a wine of this stature, a few years are definitely needed before a bottle should be opened. It is only then that all the aromas of toasted bread, almonds, honey, exotic wood can really be appreciated. On the palate, Batard-Montrachet always strikes us with its monumental structure. Interestingly, there is even a touch of tannin that provides an added dimension. The aftertaste is simply glorious : powerful, voluptuous and seemingly unending. . Only the most refined dishes can do justice to such a wine : foie gras is high on the list, followed by lobster bisque, crayfish, vol-au-vent, sweetbread, white meat chicken in cream sauce. But whatever you decide to serve, it is sure to be a memorable event ! CHARDONNAY Wine French Still Wine

This wine is from France, Burgundy region, Cote De Beaune sub-region and Puligny Montrachet appellation. The central part of the Cote de Beaune comprises an area predestined to produce great white wines, and Puligny-Montrachet is certainly one of its most glorious examples. Among its Premier Crus, the vineyard of Les Folatieres is one of its most famous, occupying a central position on the higher part of the slope, next to Les Pucelles and Clavoillons. The soil of Les Folatieres is very chalky and stony : a great part is actually limestone debris, which encourages good drainage. The Chardonnay is the unique grape variety used to produce these great white wines. The House of Joseph Drouhin brings to the making of these wines its utmost care, in the respect of tradition. At the time of harvest, usually around mid-September, the grapes are hand-picked in small cases and then brought to the winery en Chavet, in Beaune. The grapes are gently pressed. The juice settles down for a few hours before going into oak barrels. Once the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are completed, the wine is racked off its lees. It is aged in oak barrels for 9 to 10 months. Les Folatieres shares with the other wines of Puligny its distinguished and distinctive aromas of fern, honeysuckle and toasted bread. Due to its position, there is also a characteristic gout de terroir, a firm backbone and the proven ability to age very well. Although the wines are very pleasant when young, they can be kept for a long time, 6 to 8 years in a normal vintage, up to 15 years for a great vintage. . Like all great white wines, Puligny-Montrachet Folatieres deserves to accompany the best fish and shell fish dishes, such as lobster or crabmeat in a light wine sauce, salmon, trout or Dover Sole simply grilled or poached.
