Origin

The Marchand & Burch Australian Collection Chardonnays draw inspiration from the renowned white wines of Burgundy. Jeff and Pascal aimed to craft wines that embody elegance and refinement, with a focus on harmonious oak integration and vibrant acidity. From the outset, their vision for Marchand & Burch Wines was to produce Chardonnays with depth, length, and a substantial palate weight, finishing with a graceful, enduring finish. They intentionally pursued a distinctive aromatic profile, setting their wines apart from other Australian counterparts. A touch of reductiveness was embraced, enhancing the wines’ ability to age gracefully. The Mount Barker Chardonnay was envisioned as a tribute to Chassagne-Montrachet, while the Villages Chardonnay offers a nod to the classic style of Chablis.

About Marchand & Burch Australian VILLAGE CHARDONNAY

Marchand & Burch Chardonnay originated from the shared vision of Jeff Burch and Pascal Marchand to craft a wine of exceptional depth and character by merging Burgundy’s traditional techniques with the distinctive qualities of New World terroir. Pascal recognised the remote Great Southern region as the perfect environment, where its burgeoning vineyards possessed the potential to fully embody this vision. For over 15 years, our winemakers have upheld this philosophy, resulting in an extraordinary collection of wines.

Harvested from younger vines at the bottom of the Mount Barrow vineyard, The Marchand & Burch Villages Chardonnay embodies vibrancy and fruity freshness. Matured in stainless steel tanks and larger format old oak barrels, this wine possesses fine structure, gentle fruitiness, and lively acidity, making it perfectly well suited for easy enjoyment any time of the year and with a range of cuisines. 

Tasting Note

Fruit intensity and purity stand resolutely at the forefront of the Marchand & Burch Villages Chardonnay, yet it is the fine acidity and restrained minerality typical of Great Southern that sets it apart. The complex and layered bouquet is characterized by cool climate fruit notes of pink lady apple, poached pear, white grapefruit, and preserved lemons. Underneath the lofty, enticing fruit lies undercurrents of savoury oak in the form of oatmeal, struck match, caramel, sweet spice, and fresh pastry. The palate is built around this wine’s juicy natural acidity that glides from the front palate all the way through to a dry finish imparting notes of vanilla bean, nutmeal, and sweet citrus along the way.
