Fr d ric Cossard's Ploussard is a brilliant testament to his curiosity and mastery beyond the borders of his native Burgundy. Sourcing pristine fruit from the revered, iron-rich red marl soils of the Jura—specifically around the historic village of Pupillin, the self-proclaimed world capital of the variety—Cossard brings his signature non-interventionist philosophy to this ancient, thin-skinned grape. The wine is vinified naturally in his Saint-Romain cellars using whole-cluster fermentation and zero sulfur, resulting in a remarkably pure expression. Historically, Ploussard has been cherished in eastern France for centuries, prized for its pale, translucent ruby hue that beautifully blurs the line between a deep ros and an ethereal light red, capturing the rustic, wild soul of the alpine foothills.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1996 by Frédéric Cossard, a pioneer of natural winemaking, Domaine de Chassorney is nestled in the historic village of Saint-Romain within Burgundy, France. Operating both his estate and an acclaimed négociant label under his own name, Cossard is celebrated for his uncompromising commitment to organic and biodynamic farming. In the cellar, he practices a strict non-interventionist philosophy, fermenting with indigenous yeasts and bottling entirely without added sulfur. This expressive approach utilizes diverse vessels, including traditional oak, concrete eggs, and Georgian qvevris, to craft remarkably pure, vibrant expressions of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Ploussard.
