Domaine de la Cras 'Cras' Monopole Bourgogne Blanc 2022

Product Description:
A monopole Chardonnay rethinking what Burgundy can be. The 2022 Domaine de la Cras ‘Cras’ Monopole Bourgogne Blanc comes from an extraordinary project just outside Dijon, where winemaker Marc Soyard is rewriting the rules of regional Burgundy. Grown on the steepest, best-exposed section of the estate’s Chardonnay plantings, this wine reflects precision farming and a low-intervention approach learned from Soyard’s years at Domaine Bizot in Vosne-Romanée.

Fermented with native yeasts and aged for at least 18 months in both new and seasoned barrels, ‘Cras’ Blanc is complex yet energetic. It’s unmistakably Burgundy, yet distinct—mineral, saline, and textural, with a kind of nervy freshness that speaks of marl, limestone, and elevation. Dijon may be known for Pinot, but this proves Chardonnay deserves just as much attention here.

Pair it with grilled trout, aged Comté or roast chicken with tarragon. Drink now or cellar for five years.
