"I want to always work on a small-scale."
Why a micro-négoce ?
It's a “micro” négoce because it'll have to remain a small-scale business. It is the only way to have enough time to watch over each cuvée and to really look after every bottle. For each bottle is unique, just like the special moments it will serve to celebrate: moments of pleasure shared among friends or family and which we want to be unforgettable...

Each wine has its own personality.
Pascal Marchand ages each wine individually. There is no ready-made recipe to be applied to all wines every year. Each wine is different and must be nurtured in a different way, so as to help it express its full personality, drawn from its own terroir.
Constant attention…
Pascal Marchand observes, tastes, nurtures each wine throughout its ageing process, so as to make the best choices: the barrels that will enhance its expression, the best moment for racking, treading, stirring the lees, bottling...
Pascal works within a global vision of nature – in line with biodynamic methods – thus taking into account various factors which have clear influence on wine: the weather, atmospheric pressure, lunar calendar...
… And time.
Just like the vine, which needs time to blossom and become mature enough to produce quality grapes, wine needs time to express itself. That's why the ageing process is so important, giving it time to build itself. And it is for the wine to decide when it is ready, free from all practical or economic considerations.
