Vinified and aged in earthenware vessels, this Savagnin is made by a leader in Burgundy’s natural wine mouvement.
More infoDomaine de Chassorney is the true symbol of the shift towards natural winemaking in Burgundy. Managed by Frédéric Cossard, this estate has incredible parcels within the regions of Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. Founding his wine merchant business in 2006 enabled Cossard to broaden his horizons to also include other wine-growing regions such as Jura and Languedoc. That’s why we’re such big fans of this single-varietal Savagnin wine, as not only is it produced from vines that are around 50 years old, but it is also the result of meticulous certified organic farming. The grapes, which are harvested by hand, benefit from growing on Rotalier’s marly soils. The wines are vinified using skin maceration to extract the grape's colours and flavours and once made, the wine is then aged in buried, earthenware vessels known as qvevris without adding any sulphur.
Tasting reveals an aromatic and rich wine, which is also incredibly precise and fresh.
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.
