Marc had experience in Domaine Bizot(Vosne-Romanée) as a vineyard manager and had worked with Jean-Yves Bizot closely for 6 years. He has brought Bizot's simple and natural manner to Domaine de la Cras. He farms vineyard organically(biodynamie) and vinification is executed by indigenous yeasts and without SO2.
