Crafted by Burgundy's natural wine icon Frédéric Cossard under his négociant label, 'Zizifredo' is a captivating skin-contact white wine that showcases his adventurous spirit. Sourced from organic vineyards outside of Burgundy, this cuvée is made from Muscat à Petits Grains. Cossard applies his signature non-interventionist philosophy to this orange wine, macerating the whole bunches on their skins to extract complex textures, deep amber hues, and exotic aromatics. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and bottled without any added sulfur, Zizifredo is a testament to Cossard's mastery of amphora and low-intervention winemaking, resulting in a wine that is intensely aromatic, dry, and beautifully structured.
🍾 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.
