Presentation
Located in Morey-Saint-Denis, Domaine Marchand Frères is a family institution dating back seven generations. The story took a turn in 1983 with the acquisition of a winemaker's house in Gevrey-Chambertin, consolidating its presence on the best terroirs of the Côte de Nuits. Today, Denis Marchand manages the 8.5-hectare estate, producing prestigious appellations such as Chambolle-Musigny, Morey-Saint-Denis, and Gevrey-Chambertin. Viticulture is regenerative, favoring living soils for deep vine rooting. Fermentations are long, and aging takes place in oak barrels for 15 to 18 months. The estate's signature? Gentle vinification, respectful of the fruit, to obtain wines combining power and aromatic precision.
