Domaine Marchand Tawse, Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru Vignes de la Famille Tawse 2021

Red Wine from France - Burgundy

0 Reviews

Made from 60 to 80-year-old vines that produce small, concentrated berries. With 100% new oak and 60% whole bunches, this has the extra dimensions of a grand cru: a structured wine with firm black fruit. It is quite closed now, but will be worth waiting for.

Domaine Tawse

Formerly Domaine Meaume. The Canadian Moray Tawse bought Domaine Maume in 2013, installing Pascal Marchand as manager and Englishman Mark Fincham as wine maker, though Bertrand Maume is still advising. The name has gone through several changes on the label, for example Domaine Maume Tawse, but apparently from the 2015 vintage will become Domaine Tawse

Perhaps the reason why they offer such exceptional value for money is because of their size. The domaine has only 5 hectares and so is easily overlooked and has not achieved the exposure it deserves. It has a sprinkling of excellent vineyards at all quality levels including grands crus Mazis-Chambertin and Mazoyères-Chambertin, premiers crus Lavaux-St.Jacques and Champeaux, and at village level two lovely lieux-dits, named sites, Pallud and Etelois.

As ever, what sets them apart is the quality of work in the vineyard, and the significant age of the vineyards, which produces concentrated and healthy grapes. Moray Tawse has invested in the vineyards, improved the trellising and is working towards Biodynamic accreditation. In the cellar, they mature their wines for a relatively long period, 18-20 months in barrel, producing a soft and rich-tasting style of Gevrey.
