Description

The price of the 75cl bottle includes an approximate 20% discount, reduced from £60 previously. This offer does not apply to BBX listings.

A blend of eight parcels, this sees 20% new oak. Many parcels are on the stony clay soils east of the Route Nationale. Mark has increased the whole-bunch proportion in recent years; it’s 25% this year. Alcohol is only 13%; the vineyards’ biodynamic status plays a part. This has lifted, pure fruit and a sense of retained energy.

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.

Domaine Tawse

Our relationship with Domaine Tawse goes back to the days of Domaine Maume, which was purchased in 2012 by Canadian Moray Tawse. The domaine is today run by Englishman Mark Fincham. A thoughtful and articulate winemaker, Mark can be relied upon for an original take on the vintage, and on the state of vinous play in Burgundy generally. Mark farms the estate biodynamically.
