Sarah Ahmed, The Wine Detective, 17 December 2009 (Tasting from a Barrel Sample)
"Unsurprisingly tight and lean with a good intensity of wild bilberry, baked cherry and cherry stone fruit. Promising."

A Marchand 2008 Gevrey-Chambertin - sourced from Les Evocelles and neighbouring Brochon acreage - leads with high-toned herbal concentrate, tar, resin, salt spray, and chalk dust, though on the palate these become grounded in ripe, flesh black fruits. There is a scrubby, garrigue-like aspect here reminiscent of Lavaux St.-Jacques (and no doubt accentuated by the inclusion of stems in the fermenter); while a mouthwatering salinity helps enliven then wine's long, lifted finish. This should prove utterly fascinating as well as elegant and versatile over the coming 8-10 years, yet another tribute to the as yet relatively unsung virtues of Les Evocelles and this entire high-elevation sector of Brochon. 90-91 Points
