Wine for sale: Domaine de La Cras - Marc Soyard

Domaine de la Cras was bought by the City of Dijon in 2013, and it stretches across 160 hectares between the communes of Dijon, Plombières-lès-Dijon and Corcelles-les-Monts. The idea of this purchase was to preserve the city's green-belt land. Marc Soyard is the wine maker running the 8 hectares of certified organic vines that are worked biodynamically. 5 hectares are planted with Pinot Noir and 3 with Chardonnay. Originally from the Jura, Marc worked for several years at Domaine Bizot in Vosne-Romanée. The most important aspect of his work is his respect for nature. “Wine is a natural thing, a living thing, there's nothing artificial about it.” The vinification carried out involves very little intervention. The wines from this domain can be aged for a few years before being enjoyed.
