Frédéric Cossard's boundary-pushing spirit led him from Burgundy to the neighboring Jura region, where he sources pristine Ploussard grapes for this unique cuvée. This wine represents a fascinating intersection of ancient Georgian winemaking traditions and French terroir, as Cossard vinifies and ages the grapes in buried clay qvevris. This ancient vessel allows for a slow, natural micro-oxygenation without the flavor influence of oak, preserving the grape's delicate, wild-berried aromatics and pale, translucent hue. The resulting wine is a vibrant, living expression of Ploussard, showcasing the purity of fruit and the non-interventionist philosophy that defines Cossard's legendary natural wines.
🍾 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.
