The Wine
This is a wine that provides a fuller expression within the Marechal range. Will bring joy to both new and old world lovers of pinot noir.
Opposite Vincent Prunier’s Le Clous – plain south facing.
Deeply coloured. A more compact and concentrated nose. Full, plenty of volume, a suggestion of toast that resembles the Chorey. A little less fineness of tannin but this is open and absolutely delicious finishing – lots of energy here. Excellent! Burgundy Report

About the Wine Maker 
Catherine and Claude Marechal have been stand outs in Burgundy thanks to the precise, elegant and finely scented wines they produce from their small holdings scattered on six Côte de Beaune communes. Claude began the domaine in 1981 and in the mid 1980’s he met Henri Jayer (The ‘Godfather of Burgundy: 1922-2006), who became a huge source of inspiration and learning. Since then Marechal has, year after year, honed his skills and today offers incredibly fine wine, among the greats in Burgundy. These wines offer everything one wants in Burgundy but that is so hard to find - admirable concentration, purity and finesse combined with texture and balance that will see these wines evolve over many years. Claude's wines are not expensive for top level Burgundy, something very rare these days. We have stocked every Vintage release of the Marechal vins since coming into Oz, which speaks for itself! The quality of these wines is nothing short of phenomenal compared to the usual quality of the respective appellations.
