Frederic Cossard wasn’t born into a family of vignerons so had to start from scratch, no mean feat in Burgundy. Domaine de Chassorney was born in 1996 with a few hectares of vines rented in Saint Romain and Auxey Duresses and now comprises ten hectares of vines across several villages. He also acts as a négociant, which gives him access to fruit from some of the greatest vineyards in Burgundy. These wines are bottled eponymously, as ‘Frederic Cossard’. 

Cossard has worked organically and pesticide free from the beginning, even when purchasing fruit, he guides the grower on how to grow and care for the vines in the same way he does his own, creating lively wines that are vibrant and pure.

The fruit for this Chardonnay comes from limestone and marly soils. A deep golden hue with a densely fragrant and heady nose tinged with white flowers. The palate awash with brioche and honeyed. This superb Nuits-Saint-Georges is a rare wine indeed but the depth and complexity here is is tempered superbly with its freshness and balance, textural acidity driving long proving that Nuits is not just a red appellate.
