- PRODUCER NOTES
- FARMING & WINEMAKING NOTES
In 2013 the city of Dijon purchased a 160 hectare property on the edge of the city, complete with a winery and 8 hectares of planted land (5 red, 3 white). They then ran a competition, the prize: to run the estate and have free reign on the wine made there. The only requirement was that the winemaker must be young with no existing family vineyards and pay an annual rent to the city of Dijon of 2,000 bottles. Marc Soyard, originally from Jura, had previously worked at Domaine Bizot in Vosne-Romanée as the vineyard manager, working closely with Jean-Yves Bizot in the winery. Marc has a very hands off approach to winemaking, farming organically with biodynamic practiUnclassifiedces.
Vinification is done with natural yeasts, 100% whole bunch in stainless steel tanks. 18 month élevage in barrels - one old and one new. Minimal SO2 added at bottling, minimal use during fermentation and élevage depending on vintage.
