Our Story
Jeff Burch first crossed paths with Pascal Marchand in the cellars of Domaine Comte Armand in Pommard and a fast friendship quickly formed, a passion for Pinot Noir as its foundation. Two decades on, this friendship and passion formed the foundation for Marchand & Burch. Since 2007, the collaboration has evolved, weaving a narrative that spans Western Australia’s Great Southern and Bourgogne, France.
Guided by the belief that fine wines should echo their unique origins, Jeff and Pascal championed the concept of ‘terroir.’ The Marchand and Burch journey began at the Mount Barrow vineyard in Great Southern, a region specially selected for its ancient geology, continental climate and cooling ocean influence, giving rise to the distinctive and expressive ‘New World’ terroir at the heart of the Australian Collection.
The French Collection was established in 2007, allowing wine enthusiasts to explore the iconic epicentre of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Bourgogne. While the French wines of Bourgogne delve into centuries-old tradition, the South West Australian wines showcase the region’s untapped viticultural potential, proving that an emphasis on terroir can produce exceptional wines from WA. Explore the unique imprint of place woven into each bottle of Marchand and Burch wine, bridging the gap between the wild and remote landscape of Great Southern and the time-honoured terroir of Bourgogne.
