Claude Maréchals' principles in the vineyards are straightforward: the vineyards are plowed, no herbicides are used, treatments are kept to a minimum and the pruning is severe to keep yields low. Vinification takes place in open wooden vats, all grapes are totally destemmed. This beautifully crafted rouge from the Pommard and Chassagne area drinks with power and finesse, rich cherry, tart red fruits and a long finish.
