Chardonnay Domaine De La Cras 2022 Magnum by Marc Soyard

SENSORY SENSATIONS:

On the nose it has a delicate and fruity fragrance. On the palate, nuances of pear and apple are revealed, which give a rich intensity accompanied by a pleasant tension. This wine has the potential to refine further if stored for 2 to 5 years.

CURIOSITY:

Located in the picturesque heights near Dijon, the 3 hectares of vineyards of Domaine de la Cras are dedicated to the Chardonnay grape. The management of this vineyard is entrusted to Marc Soyard, thanks to the collaboration with the Chambre d'agriculture of the Côte d'Or. Marc gained his winemaking experience at Domaine Bizot in Vosne-Romanée. His philosophy is based on a deep respect for wine and the practice of low-impact winemaking. First, the vines are grown following organic principles and integrating biodynamic practices. The harvest takes place manually to guarantee the highest quality of the grapes. This white wine begins its journey with direct pressing, thus giving it a distinctive purity profile. Fermentation occurs naturally thanks to native yeasts, and only a minimal amount of sulfur is added. The maturation process takes place in oak barrels, both new and used, for a period of 15-18 months.
