Marchand-Tawse – 2013
Tasted with Amandine Terrier in Nuits, 8th December 2014 Unfortunately Pascal was under the weather, but Amandine stepped into the breach. There are no significant price increases for 2013s, after the 2012s, despite much less yield in 2013. Yileds here were particularly low in Gevrey due to the poor… Read More
Pascal Marchand – 2012s
Tasted with Pascal Marchand in Nuits St.Georges 30 Jan, 2014. I use Pascal’s name to head this list because everyone will know exactly who and what I mean. There were some wines previously described as Marchand-Tawse and now Pascal mentions only Domaine Tawes (but where does that put the… Read More

marchand-grillot 2005 gevrey-chambertin 1er perrières
Apart from an itinerant Chambolle and Morey Villages, Marchand-Grillot are a source for site specific Gevrey villages, a couple of 1ers and a Ruchottes.

a corking saturday (tca, bonneau du martray & marc colin)
