From many of Drouhin's prestigious vineyards across Burgundy, especially Clos des Mouches, comes this Marc de Bourgogne, a distillation of the grape skins after being pressed for wine production. A thick "cake" (called Marc) made of skins and pips still dripping with the juice of white and/or red grapes gets sent off to distill over the winter, resulting in a liquid as pure as spring water but extremely high in alcohol.
After a good many years in barrel (10-20), the resulting distillate is an intense dark amber with gorgeous aromatics: gingerbread, vanilla, dried fruits, and tobacco. It showcases spice on the palate and finishes without bite. Smooth sailing. Great for a night cap, cocktails, special occasions, and holidays.
Drouhin's Marc de Bourgogne is available in 700ML/individual wooden box and is extremely rare. Only 120 bottles were imported into the USA this year!
