Marchand & Burch

Great Southern, WA & Burgundy, FRANCE

The evolution of Marchand & Burch over the past decade is a fascinating sub-plot in the story of contemporary Australian wine. It marries the minds of Pascal Marchand - with his bio dynamic experience and passion for traditional techniques – and Jeff Burch; a pioneer of multi-regional grape growing in Western Australia. The collaboration compares two intriguing terroirs: Burgundy, where wine making evidence traces back 2000 years; with WA’s Great Southern, established only in the 1960s, but famed for its ancient geology. It is the wines themselves that bring substance and expression to this unique endeavour. In Australia, our winemakers led by Nic Bowen follow the Burgundian road map established by Pascal to produce Pinot Noir and Chardonnay reflecting season and place. In this way we unlock the potential of our maturing vineyard sites. In Burgundy, Pascal obtains fruit from his network of family growers in the legendary villages and vineyards of the Côte d’Or.
