Marchand & Burch Wines

WINERY OVERVIEW

Marchand & Burch is an international partnership between Pascal Marchand and Jeff Burch, connected through their passion for Pinot Noir. Jeff Burch is a vigneron and owner of Howard Park & MadFish Wines, and Pascal Marchand, a Burgundian winemaker from Montréal, has worked with Château de Chorey Les Beaune, Comte Armand, and Domaine de la Vougeraie. He is also a self-described “Biodynamic Ambassador.” This friendship has bloomed into a partnership producing a collection of both fine West Australian and Burgundian wines.

LOCATION OF WINERY

The Marchand & Burch wines are traditionally sourced from two of the oldest vineyard plantings in the Porongurup sub-region of the Great Southern in Western Australia. This region takes its name from the ancient, granitic boulder-like land formation that rises from the surrounding landscape. Each vineyard sits high on opposing shoulders of this volcanic outcrop, on soils formed by the weathering of the softer rocks surrounding the range.

WINEMAKING PHILOSOPHY

Biodynamic practices underpin the viticulture and winemaking practices for these wines. Burgundian viticultural techniques have also been adopted through implementation of narrow rows, high-density plantings, Guyot pruning, vertical shoot positioning, and leaf and lateral shoot removal.
