Pinot Noir for Fall
There’s nothing heartbreaking about our Pinot Noir selection.
Due to how difficult it is to grow, Pinot Noir has been affectionately known as the “heartbreak grape.” It makes the grape that much sweeter (no pun intended, really) when you find that bottle that seemingly blows all other red wine out of the water. With Pinots at all different price points from all over, we’re hopeful you’ll find a bottle that does exactly that, for you.
French-Canadian Pascal Marchand moved to France in 1985 when he was 22 years old, beginning his winemaking journey at Clos des Epeneaux in Pommard and becoming part of a new generation of Burgundy producers who believed that good wine starts in the vineyard. After several stints all around the world and an impressive resume of consulting, Pascal became one of the best known “flying winemakers.”
Moray Tawse is a financier by trade, serving as the vice president and co-founder of First National. After realizing the potential of winemaking in Niagara, Ontario, Moray purchased his first six acres of vineyard in 2000. Five years later, he opened Tawse winery and has since acquired 200 acres of vineyards all over the Niagara region- being named Canadian Winery of the year in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2016.
Marchand-Tawse is a co-venture between Pascal and Moray; this duo of vignerons/micro-négociants are working with their partner-growers in the many appellations of Burgundy while embracing organic and biodynamic farming practices, crafting wines of purity and class.
This wine greets the nose with a little funk; mushroom, meat, and raspberries. While the palate is juicy with ripe berries, light-bodied yet concentrated. A benchmark Pinot Noir from the ancestral home of the grape, it’s classic Burgundy at its finest.
