A little fruit bomb! A fruity nose with notes of black cherry... Palate: fruity and dense, a revelation. The last vintages were already great successes, it seems Marc is on a roll!
Marc Soyard
Marc Soyard, a vigneron who trained for six years with Jean-Yves Bizot, decided in 2012 to set off on his own adventure. He acquired some vines in Villers-la-Faye in the Hautes-Côtes-de-Nuits – 15 ares, which is to say, next to nothing! But he’d have to make do, given the prices that have unfortunately resulted from property speculation in Burgundy! Then, in 2013, the Dijon regional authority handed him over the management of 8 hectares of 30 years old vines. The property is located west of Dijon, just 10 km from the city center. Marc has been vinifying his juices at Domaine de la Cras for almost 10 years now! Natural wines, for high-end cuvées that are highly sought after, and which never cease to amaze us. The desire of Marc was to yank Burgundy’s blanket of prestige north a bit to include Dijon too. Thanks to his meticulous work, a biodynamic approach and top-notch aging, the gamble has paid off!
A complex and structured nose, with notes of black cherry, shelled almond, undergrowth, soft spices... Palate: a clean, sharp, fruit-driven juice, with beautiful body, very ripe.
Complex nose on notes of pear, citrus fruits, honey, notes of flint... Palate: a juice that is both mineral, tense, and round, creamy. Ample texture, the volume and length keeps amazing us vintage after vintage. Worth decanting.
A complex and structured nose for a fine, luscious Pinot Noir. A clean, sharp, fruit-driven juice. Hermaïon signifies "luck, providence"... so don’t miss your chance to try it!
On notes of sour cherry, crushed strawberry, red plum, undergrowth, a hint of smoke. The palate is all in length, chiseled and fruity, the expression of a beautiful terroir. Grain Pinot texture in the noblest sense, powdery finish. A wine that need more time in the cellar, be patient!
A nose boasting lovely complexity, with notes of citrus and brioche... Palate: intense, rich and mineralesque, with fabulous length. This is once again a very beautiful cuvée, super ambitious!
A fine balancing (équilibriste, in French!) act between apricot, stewed apple, grapefruit and candied lemon... Palate: freshness, lovely acidity, a tangier-than-usual Bourgogne Blanc that'll make you salivate and keep you coming back for more!
Complex, structured nose with notes of morello cherry and forest floor... A dense, fruity palate with hints of salted butter caramel, well-balanced, and slightly tangy on bright red berries. Beautiful length on the finish. This is an ambitious bottle—highly sought after, and for good reason.
