Originally from a non-winemaking family in the Jura, Marc worked for six years at Domaine Bizot in Vosne Romanée as chef de culture (vineyard manager), while also working in the cellar closely with Jean-Yves Bizot to learn the winemaking process. Marc has adapted the same precise hands-off, natural philosophy to Domaine de la Cras that he learned at Domaine Bizot, and has reinvigorated this overlooked terroir at the northern edge of the Côte d’Or with his incredible energy and well-balanced wines.
