Made from Pinot Noir no.113. (Dijon clone 113 is the most elegant and aromatic Pinot Noir).
The word L’Equilibriste can be translated into English as “Equilibrant” or “Tightrope walker,” and indeed, the label depicts someone balancing while dancing on the edge of a razor blade. The label also states sans sulfites ajoutés (no sulfur added). Marc Soyard is a natural wine producer who generally uses zero or very minimal amounts of sulfur, but this L’Equilibriste is said to be a more daring cuvée with no SO2 in his lineup.

Made from Chardonnay planted by Marc Soyard in 2018.

2023 Vintage : Well-ripened black fruit, significant grenadine, quite rich yet fresh and smooth. The liquid has a higher density. Like the Chardonnay cuvée, the dynamic changes after opening are exciting.
30 years old vine Pinot-Noir from organic and biodynamic vineyards on clay-limestone with marl soil. Whole-bunch fermentation, semi-carbonic maceration. No SO2 added, no culture yeast added during fermentation. Aged in barrel for 18 months. 30% new oak barrel. No fining no filtering before bottling. High quality standard of Domaine de la Cras.

2023 Vintage : The wax cap is still soft and elastic. Right after uncorking, it is fresh with fine, gentle acidity, like a wonderfully pleasant fruit juice that makes us want to drink it all at once. But by the second glass (about 12 to 13 minutes after opening), a pleasant bitterness and saltiness emerge, adding depth and complexity to the wine. By the third glass, a different, richer fruit sweetness appears, creating a well-balanced stability. The wine is still very new, even slightly cloudy, but our customers should have no resistance to this kind of wine. Like freshly brewed new sake, it might be a delicious experience you can only enjoy now. We like it very much.

Marc Soyard's new experimental cuvée "Australe" is made from Biologic Pinot-Blanc planted on argilo-calcaires soil. Whole bunch fermentation with skin-contact for 3 weeks. No SO2 added, no fining and no filtering before bottling.
No doubt, he is an excellent traditional Burgundy wine-maker, but we also think he has another great talent for this type of wine too.
