Winemaker Dinner with Pascal Marchand from Marchand Tawse - Lombard

The story of the Maison Marchand-Tawse in Burgundy begins with the extraordinary story of Pascal Marchand, the French Canadian boy wonder, who in 1985 at 22 years old, took the reins of the Clos des Epeneaux in Pommard.He became an overnight sensation, and in the process pretty much defined modern Burgundy.

In 1999, Domaine de la Vougeraie was launched, and Pascal took management of over 90 acres of Burgundy vineyards, from simple regional appellations through to Grand Crus. It soon became a reference for modern Burgundy production; Pascal took the entire domain into organic farming, and with a biodynamic approach.

The collaboration of Pascal with another French Canadian, Moray Tawse of the Tawse Winery in Niagara, one of Canada’s most recognized wineries, gave birth to the new Maison Marchand-Tawse in 2011.

Join us in welcoming Pascal Marchand to Toronto for the first time in four years. He'll guide us through some of his current releases, accompanied by a four-course dinner by Chef Nick.

Price: $155/p (+ tax and gratuity).
