Originally from Quebec, Pascal Marchand found in Burgundy a true haven that awakened both his passion and his talent. After 15 years as the craftsman behind Clos des Epeneaux and a pioneer of organic and biodynamic viticulture, he went on to manage Domaine de la Vougeraie. In 2006, he launched his own boutique négociant business in Nuits-Saint-Georges, partnering with fellow Canadian Moray Tawse. Together, they also acquired their own 8-hectare vineyard.

This high-end, artisanal venture—awarded one star by the RVF wine guide (a prestigious French publication for wine connoisseurs)—now offers a tightly curated selection of meticulously crafted wines, all organically grown.
