Beaune Les Bressandes Blanc 2020

Fréderic Cossard

This 100% Chardonnay, AOC Beaune, comes from the plot that gives its name to the cuvée, located between 220 and 300 meters above sea level. The terroir, facing east to south, is dominated by limestone formations at the top, marl in the center, and clay at the foot of the slopes. The grapes macerate in whole bunches. Aging is approximately one year in barrels.

Through his entirely natural approach, Frédéric Cossard gives voice to the terroirs and Burgundy wines, undistorted by agricultural chemicals. Having observed, during his years as a wine merchant, the existence of harmful winegrowing practices, the winemaker used this counterexample to practice unadulterated viticulture. Thus, he produces vintages of unadulterated purity and elegance that are among the most sought-after in Burgundy. Frédéric worked for some time as a wine broker before creating the Chassorney estate with his partner Laure in 1996: initially a few ares of vines in Saint-Romain, Auxey-Duresses and Savigny-lès-Beaune, and currently ten hectares spread across the Nuits-Saint-Georges, Pommard, Volnay, Bourgogne-Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune and Bourgogne appellations. In 2006, he created his own wine trading house and buys organic grapes to vinify, according to his style and convictions, great vintages such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, Pommard, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée and several Beaujolais crus. The exercise is not limited to Burgundy, as vintages are made from grapes purchased in the Jura, Languedoc, or elsewhere. At his place, the work of the soil and the vines is done as naturally as possible: regular plowing by horse, no addition of chemical fertilizers or weedkillers. The vines are cared for according to the principles of biodynamics: homeopathic treatments based on essential oils, copper, and sulfur in minimal doses. The harvest is entirely manual, carried out at full maturity, at the end of October. Reds or whites, classic Burgundies or more atypical or less "regional" bottles, Frédéric's vintages are rare and sought-after wines, which sometimes require waiting.

Beaune Les Chardonnereux Qvevris Red 2020,

Frédéric Cossard

This is a magnificent red wine from Beaune with dark harmonies: blueberry, black fruits, black cherry, alongside aromas of red rose petals and fresh violets. It is a calm and elegant wine, endowed with elegant richness and admirable fruit concentration, in which the slight astringency of well-evolved tannins blends gracefully. It comes from a plot of land that has been cultivated organically for three years and faces south. This Chardonnereux plot is known for ensuring early ripening of the grapes. To highlight the minerality of this red Beaune, Frédéric Cossard decided to ferment and age it in qvevri, a Georgian-style buried jar. Aging in qvevri lasts twelve months, after a month and a half of fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The passage in qvevri is preceded by a three-month passage in stainless steel vats.

Beaune Les Bressandes, Blanc 2023

Fréderic Cossard

Le vigneron Frédéric Cossard, figure incontournable du vin naturel en Bourgogne, signe ici un Beaune blanc de grande classe, sans aucun label mais travaillé selon des pratiques naturelles strictes. Cette cuvée 100 % Chardonnay, issue du climat réputé Les Bressandes, conjugue pureté, précision et minéralité.

Un élevage singulier pour une expression pure

Les raisins, cultivés sur des sols argilo-calcaires typiques des coteaux de Beaune, sont pressés directement après récolte. La fermentation se fait en levures indigènes, sans aucun intrant œnologique. Le vin est ensuite élevé pendant un an en œuf béton, un contenant neutre et dynamique qui favorise la micro-oxygénation sans apporter de notes boisées. Résultat : un vin vibrant, affiné, mais sans maquillage.

Un blanc frais, floral et ciselé

Au nez, on retrouve des notes de fleurs blanches, de citron frais, de pierre mouillée et une touche légèrement beurrée. En bouche, la matière est tendue, saline, avec un volume juste et une finale minérale, persistante, qui s’étire avec finesse. Le style est à la fois immédiat et de garde, accessible mais complexe.

Une cuvée gastronomique et élégante

À servir entre 10 et 12 °C, ce Beaune blanc s’accorde parfaitement avec les poissons grillés, fruits de mer, poissons fumés, volailles rôties ou fromages affinés. Il peut se déguster dès aujourd’hui mais gagnera en complexité sur 5 à 10 ans. Un vin pour amateurs éclairés et curieux.
