Jacques Marchand, his daughter Marion and son Etienne are fifth and sixth generation winemakers in the heart of the Cote de Nuits in Burgundy. Grapes are from 58 year old vines and no chemicals are used in the traditional viticulture practised by the family. Every grape that goes into this wine is hand selected before going through a cold maceration for 8 days before fermentation. This helps ensure that all the flavour, structure and elegance of the grape is maintained throughout the process. The wine is aged in old French oak barrels which provide a very subtle oak influence but that is barely discernible on the palate.
