Fréderic Cossard

Through his entirely natural work, 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 viticultural practices, the winemaker used this counterexample to practice unadulterated viticulture. Thus, he produces vintages of purity and elegance without artifice that are among the most sought-after in Burgundy. Frédéric worked for some time as a wine broker before creating the domaine de Chassorney 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 or Languedoc. 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.

This Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru comes from the Folatières plot, planted with very old vines. This antiquity is felt in the depth and structure of the wine, and it also benefits from superb aging qualities. A fine example of Chardonnay at its peak. Classy, complex, powerful, and precise; Puligny-Montrachet is a legendary wine, and this one lives up to its reputation. Endless pairing possibilities, long aging guaranteed.

Natural wine with no added sulfites.

Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Garennes, Blanc 2023

Fréderic Cossard

Située entre 230 et 250 mètres d'altitude, la parcelle Les Garennes, exposée sud-est, repose sur un sol brun marneux et argilo-calcaire, parfois directement sur la roche. C’est ici, sur l’un des premiers crus les plus racés de Puligny, que Frédéric Cossard élabore un Chardonnay de très haute tenue, sans artifices et sans label, mais toujours dans une démarche naturelle exemplaire.

Élevage traditionnel, vinification libre

Les raisins sont pressés directement, puis fermentent naturellement en levures indigènes. Le vin est ensuite élevé pendant un an en barriques anciennes, de plusieurs vins, afin de respecter l’éclat du fruit tout en complexifiant sa texture. Cette méthode permet une oxygénation lente et maîtrisée, révélant toutes les strates du terroir.

Un blanc tendu, précis, d’une grande noblesse

Au nez, des notes d’agrumes, de pierre frottée, de beurre frais et une touche de truffe blanche. En bouche, la matière est ample mais ciselée, tendue par une belle acidité et une minéralité salivante. L’expression est fidèle au style de Puligny : stratifié, structuré, long en bouche, avec un grand potentiel d’évolution.

Accords pour grandes occasions

À servir entre 10 et 12 °C, ce vin sublime les fruits de mer, les coquillages, un homard rôti, une volaille truffée ou des fromages affinés. À boire jeune pour sa fraîcheur éclatante ou à garder plus de 10 ans pour explorer toute sa profondeur.

An exceptional, distinguished and timeless Chardonnay

Made from old vines deeply rooted in the clay-limestone soils of the prestigious Folatières plot, this white wine reveals a pure and precise expression of Chardonnay. The direct-press vinification and careful one-year aging in barrels bring remarkable complexity and finesse.

A tasting full of power and refinement

From the first nose, this 1er Cru seduces with its intense and complex bouquet. Aromas of fresh citrus, lemon zest, and green apple are accompanied by mineral notes reminiscent of gunflint. On the palate, the attack is lively and precise, revealing a powerful structure and a silky texture. The minerality typical of limestone terroirs provides superb tension, balanced by an aromatic richness that stretches into a long and elegant finish, marked by a subtle salinity.

A gastronomic wine with great ageing potential

This Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières is ideal with refined dishes. It will enhance noble shellfish such as lobster or crayfish, fish in sauce, or even roast poultry. Its aromatic complexity also pairs perfectly with mature cheeses such as an old comté or an ash goat cheese.
