Bourgogne wines are the still reds produced under the generic Bourgogne appellation. In the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits sub-regions, this surface area is concentrated mostly on the lower slopes of the Côte d’Or escarpment.
This fresh and delicate wine represents the perfect entry to the exciting world of Pinot Noir from Bourgogne.
The Marchand & Burch Bourgogne Rouge is sourced from vineyards located in Yonne & Regnie. In Yonne, the soils are a mix of clay and limestone, while in Regnie soils are predominantly granite.
In the winery, the grapes are destemmed. Once alcoholic fermentation is complete, the grape skins are pressed using a pneumatic press. This Marchand and Burch Bourgogne Rouge underwent 11 months of élevage in stainless steel vats. The wine is then racked and fine, and bottled without filtration. All vinification and aging are carried out according to the lunar calendar.
Opaque ruby hued, after a swirl this wine continues to transform and take shape in the glass. Black cherry, ripe plum and red liquorice merge with blueberry crumble to create a dark and resonant bouquet. Notes of of tart cranberry jam and boysenberry amalgamate with lifted sage aromas that gives way to an undercurrent of savory bresaola and spice.
Crunchy, red fruits dominate the front palate, fuelled by flavours of pomegranate and redcurrants. A mirrored fresh acidity is balanced by a dusting of fine tannin that lingers after the first sip. Blackberry, rhubarb and baked plums mix with a bone broth salinity and are caressed by lightly charred oak notes that appear briefly on the back palate.
A stylish and approachable example of a Pinot Noir and Gamay blend that enraptures and refreshes at the same time.
