SENSORY SENSATIONS:

Like every Marc Soyard wine, free from added sulphur, the Equilibriste is elaborated in a reductive environment, i.e. the work is done so that the wine is exposed to minimal oxygen, so as to guarantee greater longevity over time. Those mineral and delicately sulphurous hints that you will perceive will gradually fade with aging in the bottle or through the decantation of the wine.

CURIOSITY:

Marc Soyard is one of the Burgundy region's most attractive young winemakers and has recently taken over the responsibility of managing 8 hectares of historic vineyards located on the outskirts of Dijon. As a basic condition, it is required that he not only be able to produce great wines, but also be engaged in organic farming. Marc has also introduced some biodynamic practices in the vinification of his wines and uses minimal quantities of SO2, qualifying them as "natural wines". The maturation of the wines takes place in oak barrels of different sizes, both new and used. He is the only producer authorized to label his wine as "Coteaux de Dijon". His winemaking technique is mainly influenced by the experience acquired at the Domaine Bizot. The history of this label is interesting: the "l'Equilibriste" cuvée was created for a circus festival near Dijon. Approximately 200 bottles were produced and the young Marc Soyard is making headlines around the world, continuing to do so for many, many years to come
