Marchand & Burch, Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru 2010

Marchand’s 2010 Mazy-Chambertin offers tart red raspberry, rhubarb, brown spices, and resin flavors, with prominent tannins and a persistent finish. Pascal Marchand, a Burgundy veteran, gained prominence at Comte Armand in Pommard before starting his own negociant operation in 2006. Working out of Nuits-St.-Georges, Marchand oversees barrel evolution in trusted growers’ cellars and vinifies some wines from purchased fruit in his facility, showcasing the emerging micro-negociant model.
