Domaine Tawse, Gevrey-Chambertin
Canadian Moray Tawse bought Domaine Maume in 2013. The wines which follow are mostly made from vineyards previously
owned by Maume. Englishman Mark Fincham has day-to-day responsibility for vineyards and winemaking. The domaine has been
converted to organic farming and 2019 sees its first certified organic wines. Horses plough the grands crus and the trellising has
been renewed and raised to increase leaf surface area.
These are excellent wines. The harvest took place between 12th and 22nd September. Alcohols are 13.5-14% and noted for
each wine below where known. The pHs are quite low (indicating the acidity is high in strength) for a wine of this maturity. The
slightly higher alcohols fade into the background in the face of such concentrated wines.
