Hautes Côtes de Beaune

Variety

Chardonnay

Marc was looking for other high altitude vineyards in the Cote d'Or to produce wines with fresher acidity that would mirror the aspects he knew at Domaine de la Cras. Through his partners at Tercet, he was able to get in touch with an organic grower in the hills far above Aloxe-Corton in the Hautes-Côtes village of Echevronne. Tercet requested that the grower press the grapes on-site in a separate tank with no SO2, then bring the juice to Domaine de la Cras for fermentation and elevage.

Tercet

Founded in 2016

1 hectares

Tercet is a partnership between Marc Soyard (Domaine de la Cras) and Florent Lambert, a vineyard manager in the Côte d'Or. The two friends originally met in viticulture school, and Tercet is the realization of their dream for two outsiders to make wine together in Burgundy. They have each taken their own path. Marc took over Domaine de la Cras in 2014, while Florent is responsible for farming several hectares of vines in prestigious appellations in the Côte de Nuits. Of course, with the name Tercet, there is a third partner, who brings an extensive network of connections in the Cote d’Or. Their vision is to work together to create a focused offering of exceptional wines vinified by Marc Soyard, according to his house style. All wines are vinified and bottled by Marc Soyard at his cellar...
