Frédéric Cossard, the legendary Burgundy natural winemaker, ventures into the neighboring Jura region to source exceptional fruit for this cuvée. Crafted under his négociant label, this wine represents a brilliant bridge between Burgundian precision and Jura's wild, historic terroir. Rather than adopting the traditional oxidative 'sous-voile' (under a veil of yeast) style common to the Jura, Cossard vinifies this Savagnin in an 'ouillé' (topped-up) fashion. This non-oxidative method preserves the grape's electric acidity, intense mineral drive, and pure citrus and stone fruit character. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and bottled entirely without added sulfur, it is a vibrant, living testament to Cossard's non-interventionist mastery and the ancient heritage of the Savagnin grape.
🍾 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.
