The affable Pascal Marchand might be from Quebec, but his story is full-throttle French, and more specifically, deeply Burgundian. Over the past 45 years, he has built a resumé as good as anyone's in all of Burgundy, and even though Canadian, is considered today to be one of the originalists of what can be thought of as modern Burgundy. Starting in 1989 at the famed Comte Armand, he introduced organic farming, modernized the winery, and gained almost overnight acclaim for their now famous Pommard 'Clos des Epeneaux'. Following his tenure there, he pivoted to the Boisset family's Domaine de la Vougeraie, where until 2006, he converted their vast holdings into an organic and biodynamic treasure trove.
Finally, in 2011, along with partner Moray Tawse, another Canadian, he founded Domaine Marchand-Tawse, having purchased the old Maume cellars in Nuits St. Georges. Together, Marchand and Tawse have accumulated a staggering collection of vineyards in 68 different appellations up and down the Côte. Their price list covers nearly 3 pages and spans 5+ vintages with current releases.
