DOMAINE MARCHAND FRÈRES GRAND CRU 2022 3-PACK
AVAILABLE TO SHIP IN SEPTEMBER 2024
The Domaine Marchand Freres has small parcels in some very important vineyards in Chambolle-Musigny, Morey-Saint-Denis and Gevrey-Chambertin, including some big-name premier cru as well as Grand Cru Clos de la Roche, Griottes-Chambertin and Charmes Chambertin. But production is tiny, 1000 cases here, a few hundred there, mere dozens in the Grands Crus. Marchand Freres is the quintessential Burgundy domain: small production, high quality.
Includes 1 bottle of each RED Grand Cru
Domaine Marchand Freres Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru 2022
Dark and dense with ample fruit and a lot of character. New oak, of course, but there is enough ‘stuff’ there to support it. Old vines (from two plots within the sub-appellation Les Mazoyères), the younger one 60 year old vines.
Domaine Marchand Freres Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2022
Deep ruby red, with complex nose of cherry and fresh almond. Plump and ample wine with silky tannins and a finish on licorice and blackcurrant. New oak, so be prepared to let this one sit. But it will be worth it!
Marchand Freres Griottes Chambertin Grand Cru 2022
With a tiny holding of a quarter of an acre, Denis Marchand produces 750 bottles a year of this Grand Cru Griotte-Chambertin. Small production, but enormous wine and a great bottle. Rich and generous, with floral nuances on top of ever-present minerality. Blackberry fruit, judiously oaked. Elegant and delicate, with impressive volume, this is wine meant to last. Power perfectly controlled.
