Characteristics: The Marc de Bourgogne is the result of distilling the residue (skins, pips and stalks) - known as ‘marc’ - of pressed red grapes. This residue is usually distilled by the travelling still-man. The alcohol is then matured for at least 12 years before being bottled. As with all good spirits, the length of ageing is more important than the vintage, which is why we put the date of bottling on each bottle.

Tasting: Marc is to be drunk at the end of a meal, and is much appreciated by cigar-smokers. It is also used in the traditional ‘trou bourguignon’ - blackcurrant sorbet with marc - which is served between courses during gourmet dinners
