DOMAINE
Marchand-Tawse
with Pascal Marchand, featuring some back vintages & preview of 2016s

The documentary film “Grand Cru” follows Pascal Marchand as an aspiring poet from Montreal who arrived in the mythical land of Burgundy to work the harvest at age 21. Enchanted by the region, he settled there and embarked on an unlikely path to winemaking stardom. Now over 30 years later, he is renowned as an artist and innovator, finding his inspiration in the ancient techniques of the Cistercian monks who meticulously studied and refined Burgundy's winemaking in the middle ages.

One can also say that the name Pascal Marchand is synonymous with the resurrection of Domaine Comte Armand in the 1990s. After restoring the domaine’s reputation to an all-time high, he struck out on his own to make Burgundy wines with the inception of his domaine/micro-négoce now known as MARCHAND-TAWSE.

Blessed with an acute instinct for the region’s unique terroirs as well as being an intelligent, sensitive cellar-master, Pascal regularly obtains the most optimal and purest expression with ease and panache.

As one of the earliest proponents of organic/biodynamic farming in Burgundy, Pascal began practicing organic viticulture in the mid-80s at Domaine Comte Armand. His reputation earned him many friends who own prestigious vineyards around Burgundy and from whom now he sources his fruits to augment the domaine’s vineyards.

Today, Marchand continues to dedicate most of his time to what he considers to be the most important aspect of the production of great wines: working the vineyard. With the recent acquisition of Domaine Maume in Gevrey-Chambertin plus other choice parcels, Marchand-Tawse works with a much higher proportion of owned vineyards.

Tasting at Marchand-Tawse

Those who follow Marchand’s wines will vouch that he has successfully crafted terroir wines that evolve gracefully. Thanks to meticulous vineyard work, he can vinify gently (important to obtain aromatics) and nonetheless obtain long, complex flavours. As expressive as the wines may be, they always carry a certain je-ne-sais-quoi elegance and the gorgeous perfume every Burgundy lover seeks.

We are thrilled to welcome Pascal back in Singapore this May. Join us in this private dinner as we savour his choicest terroirs and which will include a few recent vintages. We will also preview a few pre-release 2016s so we can see why so many are so excited about the vintage. This will be an intimate time with the winemaker to learn and explore the nuances of Burgundy with Chef Nicolas Joanny’s ever excellent and sensitive cuisine on the dinner table.

As the seating is quite limited, we hope you will RSVP soon. We greatly look forward to your company on this special occasion.

Yours,
Henry H.

NICOLAS LE RESTAURANT

Nicolas le Restaurant

This stalwart fine French restaurant was founded in 2007 by Chef Nicolas Joanny. Originally from the south of France, Chef Nicolas was raised in a family of food lovers, where everything is made in house, from the garden to charcuterie.

Nicolas Joanny, chef-ownerAs a teenager Nicolas graduated from the renowned Culinary Institute in Burgundy, Château Chinon, at the age of 17. During the second year of his study, he also attended training in prestigious Michelin-starred establishments. He started his career in a 2-star restaurant, “La Barbacane Restaurant”, in Southwest of France, working under the charismatic Chef Michel Del Burgo. After 2 years, he moved to Belgium where he worked for the 1-star restaurant “La Cusine Des Anges”. Like many young aspiring chefs, Nicolas moved to the city of Paris where he worked in prestigious restaurants such as Taillevent (3-star) and Le Vivarois (2-star). Thereafter he became one of the private chefs of the ex-French Prime Minister, Mr. Alain Juppe. By 1997, Nicolas went to Italy to work for the 2-star chef Antony Genovese “The Palazzo Sasso” at a newly opened boutique hotel in southern Italy.

Knowing that the time was right to become a Chef de Cuisine and with his interest in Asia, Nicolas moved to “The Duxton Hotel” in Singapore. He left to open his eponymous Nicolas Le Restaurant in the heart of Chinatown on Keong Saik Road in 2007, before moving to Teck Lim Road in 2012.

Nicolas’ cuisine is traditionally French with great usage of products from France and Japan. He respects the natural flavors of each ingredient that he uses to create traditional seasonally changing French menus.
