Bourgogne “Montrecul” 2024 Domaine de la Cras
The Bourgogne “Montrecul” 2024 is sourced from a small historic vineyard overlooking Dijon, where Pinot Noir has long found ideal conditions to express elegance, freshness and remarkable terroir definition. This cuvée perfectly illustrates Marc Soyard’s philosophy at Domaine de la Cras: respectful vineyard management, minimal intervention in the cellar and an uncompromising commitment to expressing the unique identity of each site.
The vineyard is planted on stony clay-limestone soils, whose mineral composition provides the wine with freshness, precision and a distinctive saline backbone. Farming follows organic and biodynamic principles, while the winemaking relies on spontaneous fermentations with indigenous yeasts and carefully restrained cellar work, allowing the vineyard to speak with complete transparency.
The wine displays a brilliant, luminous ruby-red colour. The nose is refined and expressive, revealing aromas of fresh cherry, raspberry, redcurrant and violet, complemented by delicate spicy nuances, subtle iron-like minerality, woodland notes and gentle floral hints that continue to evolve with aeration.
On the palate, the wine combines elegance with remarkable energy. Its silky texture is supported by finely integrated tannins, vibrant acidity and an unmistakable mineral backbone that brings freshness and precision throughout the tasting experience. The finish is long, harmonious and persistent, leaving lingering impressions of red berries, delicate spices and a refined touch of liquorice.
Far more than a regional Burgundy, Montrecul embodies a modern interpretation of Pinot Noir, where purity, finesse and terroir expression take precedence over extraction or power. It is a wine that highlights Marc Soyard’s exceptional talent and confirms the growing reputation of the Coteaux de Dijon as one of Burgundy’s most exciting emerging terroirs.
