Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Damodes Domaine de Chassorney - Frédéric Cossard 2016

The wine

Les Damodes is produced from vines planted in a cooler area than the rest of Nuits-Saint-Georges, usually making for quite robust wines. This subtle cuvée from Frédéric Cossard makes a perfect pairing with mushroom and red meat dishes.

About the Producer Domaine de Chassorney - Frédéric Cossard

The son of a farmer, Frédéric Cossard quickly became passionate about wine, becoming a wine broker. Then, in 1996, he seized the opportunity to work on several acres of vines in the communes of Saint-Romain and Auxey-Duresses. He gradually expanded his Chassorney domaine as well. The vineyard now extends over 10 hectares and several appellations (Saint Romain, Auxey-Duresses and Pommard).The vines are worked as naturally as possible, the soil is ploughed and, in the cellar, only native yeast is used. A deep respect for the grapes is at the heart of this winemaker’s philosophy, guiding both his work in the vineyard and practices in the winery. The vines are cultivated as naturally as possible, without chemical treatments, and all harvesting is carried out by hand. Only indigenous yeasts are used, and no sulphur is added to the juice or the wines. As a result, Frédéric produces natural wines that stand apart from the more intensively produced Burgundy wines. Alongside his partner, Laure, he founded a wine trading business in 2006, sourcing the finest grapes from historic appellations such as Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet.
Elegant, pure, and full of charm, his wines are highly sought after by wine lovers of this specific winemaking style.
