Domaine Marchand-Grillot Description

Like the vines, the Marchand and the Grillot families are both well rooted into the Burgundian soil. Going back six generations, we find the first of each family who started their interests in the vineyards, at Morey St Denis for the Marchands, and the Grillots at Gevrey-Chambertin. It was in 1950, thanks to a marriage, that the Domaine Marchand-Grillot was created, setting up definitively at Gevrey-Chambertin.

Today, Jacques Marchand heads the estate, bringing his knowledge borne by generations, and his extensive experience. He is followed by his son, Etienne, who is taking over the responsibilities little by little. Etienne studied at the Lycée viticole at Macon-Davayé,

The vines are worked mainly by hand for the different stages up to harvest. Short pruning (Guyot) and de-budding are done vine by vine, limiting the quantity to ensure the quality. Green harvesting also helps to control the yield.

The Gevrey Chambertin 'Au Velle' 2015 ia a rather reserved wine, with time it will reveal itself to be of a great elegance with red fruit notes.
