Complex nose carried by notes of red fruits, cherry and raspberry, enhanced by soft spices, a floral hint and a mineral sensation on the second nose. In perfect harmony with the fruity palate, slender and long, thin tannins without any astringency, the amphora gives a very nice patina.
Frédéric Cossard
Frédéric Cossard and his partner Laure founded their estate in 2006, while also beginning to buy grapes from multiple historic appellations: Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, Pommard, Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée, and even the Jura. Their story began 10 years earlier, as Fred and Laure are also the names behind Domaine de Chassorney, which was born in 1996. This son of farmers fulfilled his dream of becoming a vigneron beginning with parcels in Saint-Romain and Auxey-Duresses. The estate grew bit by bit, and whether they are in Pommard, Volnay or Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune, his vines are all worked biodynamically, and horse ploughs between the vines rows. In the winery: indigenous yeasts, cuvées without sulphur, aged in egg-shaped concrete vats. The man is a reference, and has well deserved a little rest, since a smooth handover was made with Aurélien Verdet for the 2022 vintage, who has since taken over the whole of Chassorney, a beautiful transmission.
