Volnay 1er Cru Les Roncerets Domaine de Chassorney - Frédéric Cossard 2011
The wine
This Volnay comes from a plot of forty-year-old Pinot Noir vines grown sustainably. Matured in barrels for a year and vinified without sulphur, it exudes a flavourful and complex bouquet of red fruit, macerated fruit, and gentle spices. This wine will need a few years of ageing in order to develop its silky texture.
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 and also set up a small trading structure in 2006 with his partner Laure. 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.
