Dijon's Monopole Man - Marc Soyard

"Côteaux de Dijon," arguably the rarest appellation in Burgundy, and it's reserved for one man...

Marc Soyard

Jura native and former vineyard manager for Domaine Bizot, Soyard was gifted by the city of Dijon, Domaine de la Cras, an 8-hectare monopole estate of undoubted potential. Out of the plethora of vignerons who were considered, Soyard was elected based strongly on his resumé, potential, and guarantee of organic farming, all for the small price of gifting a number of bottles back to the city each year.

His recipe across viticulture and vinification are largely hands-off, applying Bizot's philosophies: farming organically with some biodynamic practices, partial or 100% whole clusters, native ferments, and minimal sulfur additions.
