Bourgogne L'équilibriste Domaine de la Cras - Marc Soyard 2018

Near to Dijon, Domaine de la Cras stretches across the plains on which 5 hectares of Pinot Noir thrive. The domain belongs to the Côte d’Or agricultural chambers and is currently run by Marc Soyard, a producer who learnt the trade during his time at Domaine Bizot in Vosne Romanée. The philosophy underlying his work is one that respects wine with low-intervention vinifications. The vines are grown organically with biodynamic methods, and the grapes are harvested by hand. The yeasts used for the fermentation are natural and no sulphur is added. This cuvée has a limpid, ruby red appearance. The nose and palate come together well with notes of red fruit, black cherry and a hint of spice. The tannins are mature. You can age this wine for at least 5 years. Serve it at 15-16°C. It will pair well with a dish like grilled duck or boeuf bourguignon.
