Bourgogne Blanc Coteaux de Dijon 2024 Domaine de la Cras
The Bourgogne Blanc Coteaux de Dijon 2024 is one of the most compelling expressions of modern Burgundy Chardonnay, crafted by Marc Soyard, one of the region’s most talented and respected winemakers. After gaining invaluable experience at the legendary Domaine Bizot, Soyard dedicated himself entirely to Domaine de la Cras, revealing the exceptional potential of the Coteaux de Dijon through meticulous vineyard work and an uncompromising commitment to terroir expression.
The vineyards are planted on limestone-rich soils, whose mineral composition gives the wine its unmistakable freshness, tension and saline character. Farming follows organic and biodynamic principles, while the cellar philosophy embraces spontaneous fermentations with indigenous yeasts and minimal intervention, allowing every vintage to express its natural personality without manipulation.
In the glass, the wine displays a bright straw-yellow colour. The nose is elegant and constantly evolving, revealing aromas of ripe pear, crisp apple, citrus fruits, white blossoms and subtle chalky notes, complemented by hints of flint and delicate maritime nuances that speak directly of the limestone terroir.
The palate is both generous and remarkably precise. A rich core of orchard fruit is perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity and an impressive mineral backbone. Layers of pear, apple and citrus unfold into a long, energetic finish marked by remarkable freshness, salinity and persistence.
This is a Chardonnay that transcends its regional appellation, delivering the complexity, depth and elegance more commonly associated with far more prestigious Burgundy crus. It is a wine of authenticity, purity and remarkable ageing potential, showcasing Marc Soyard’s exceptional talent for revealing the true identity of his vineyards.
