Domaine Tawse
Formerly known as Domaine Maume, this Gevrey-Chambertin estate was purchased by Canadian entrepreneur Moray Tawse in 2011 and has since experienced a significant transformation. From the newly biodynamic vineyards to the more 'natural' style of minimal intervention winemaking, using lower doses of Sulphur and very little chaptalisation, the re-branded Domaine Marchand-Tawse is the Cote de Nuits' Rising Star.
English winemaker Mark Fincham, formerly of Domaine de Pegau, is dedicated to fashioning elegant wines with a more modern lightness of touch, which are far more ready-to-drink in their youth than the former, rustic style.

Vinous - Neal Martin (90-92)
The 2022 Beaune Teurons 1er Cru is fully de-stemmed for the first time. This leans more towards red fruit on the nose, though maybe because of the lack of stems, it doesn't quite have the personality or freshness as the Tuvilains. The palate is well-balanced with lively red fruit and good depth, and the 35% new oak neatly integrated with fine depth on the finish. I feel it will improve with time in bottle.HK$3,450.00 -

The 2018 Beaune Clos du Roi 1er Cru is matured with 30% whole bunch and 50% new oak. It has a very attractive bouquet of brambly red fruit, rose petals and light undergrowth aromas. The medium-bodied palate offers a dash of white pepper on the opening. Well balanced, with quite a structured and serious finish. Excellent.HK$3,375.00 -

The 2019 Beaune Clos du Roi 1er Cru I includes 50% whole bunch and 30% new oak. Pascal Marchand said that this is an example of "infusion" winemaking, not seeing many punchdowns during cuvaison. The bouquet is very perfumed; cracked black pepper and tertiary aromas slightly occlude the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, leading to an elegant, peppery finish. Very much a lighter style from Tawse. I am not sure it has long-term potential but that is a moot point as it is so delicious.HK$2,265.00 -

The 2020 Beaune Teurons 1er Cru contains 25% whole bunch with 20% new oak. There was a bit of reduction on the nose here, but the palate is lively and expressive with candied red berry fruit, orange zest and fine mineralité. This should turn into a very delicious Beaune but it will need time.HK$2,315.00 -

The 2021 Beaune Teurons 1er Cru comes across a little subdued on the nose but it opens in the glass, with red fruit, touches of black pepper, becoming quite floral with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine weight, lively red fruit with a touch of spice on the finish. Very fine.HK$3,645.00
