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.
