a lovely tasting and lunch with Pascal and Odilon Marchand in the Beaune tasting rooms.
Diving back into the brilliant 2023 vintage ... Pascal nailed the 2023s - taking the Marchand-Tawse estate to a new level.
The 2023s are terroir and joy driven with a magnificent transparency to the energetic and juicy fruit.
The wines from the entry level Coteaux Bourguignons via the new Gevrey CPB to the Clos Saint-Denis are all gorgeous expressions of pinot. Taking it even further with the Mazis Chambertin and finally the illustrious Musigny - all statements taking Marchand-Tawse into a new league.
Vin d`émotion ... my kind of Burgundies ❤️
