El Aqueronte Red 2019
El Aqueronte refers to Acheron, the river of the underworld in Greek mythology. We therefore expect base notes firmly rooted in the soil and black fruits, and they are there: a beautiful dark garnet color, a smoky and fruity nose (black cherry), peony, and cocoa, and a velvety, cherry-peppery texture on the palate, a harmony between minerality and fruit. Made from 100% Mencia grapes (from the Trousseau), unfiltered and unsulfured, this wine comes from seventy to ninety-year-old vines grown in the north of Bierzo on a homogeneous plot with clay-limestone soils rich in quartz, at an altitude of 555 meters. The grapes macerate for three to four days in old, unsealed chestnut vats; the wines are aged in French oak barrels for eleven months. Decanting is recommended.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.
We are Young Rouge Beaujolais Nouveau 2025,
Domaine de la Sorbiere
We Are Young 2025 est une déclaration d’intention. Plus qu’un simple Beaujolais Nouveau, c’est une vision du vin jeune, libre, sans maquillage ni artifice. Cette cuvée du Domaine de la Sorbière, dans le Beaujolais granitique, rend hommage à la vitalité du Gamay, cépage emblématique de la région, travaillé ici dans un esprit pleinement naturel.
Le raisin provient de sols granitiques qui donnent au vin une fraîcheur minérale très nette. La vinification est aussi simple que sincère : macération semi-carbonique de 5 jours, fermentations spontanées avec levures indigènes, et un élevage ultra-court de 4 jours en cuve inox pour capturer l’instantané du fruit. Aucune intervention œnologique superflue, pas de levures exogènes ni intrants chimiques : ici, tout est naturel, vivant, et respectueux du raisin comme de son terroir.
La robe est d’un rouge très clair, couleur grenadine, presque translucide, évoquant un jus de fruit fermenté. Le nez charme immédiatement avec ses notes d’agrumes, de cerise fraîche et de fleurs blanches, une palette aromatique fine et printanière. En bouche, c’est le croquant du fruit qui domine, avec une trame fluide, fraîche, presque désaltérante, sans manquer de structure. L’alcool modéré (12 %) participe à cette impression de légèreté gourmande.
Parfait dès l’apéritif, We Are Young 2025 s’accorde à merveille avec une planche de charcuteries fines, des fromages à pâte molle ou une cuisine simple et généreuse. À servir légèrement frais (16-18°C) et à boire sans attendre, même si son potentiel de garde de 2 à 5 ans surprendra les curieux.
Une cuvée numérotée, pleine de sincérité et de peps, pour réconcilier tous les amateurs avec l’esprit originel du Beaujolais Nouveau : celui de la fête, du partage, et du vin qui fait du bien.
Du Bout des Lèvres White 2009
A pure, sweet Chenin Blanc that respects itself, Du bout des lèvres comes from schist soil where fifty-year-old vines grow, harvested at different stages of maturity. It is here that botrytis, or noble rot, is responsible for achieving this aromatic power on both the nose and the palate. It will be wonderful as an aperitif, accompanied by some salted butter biscuits.
A natural wine with no added sulfites.
Vers la Maison Rouge Red 2022
Produced in Savoie by Jean-Yves Péron, Vers la Maison rouge is an organic, biodynamic, and natural red wine classified as a Vin de France, made from the Mondeuse grape variety. Its name is that of its main plot.
Vinification
Produced on mica-schist soils near Albertville and limestone scree in Fréterive, Vers la Maison rouge is vinified on the skins using carbonic maceration and produced according to the "repasse" principle: after blending, one or more refermentations take place on grape marc from various grape varieties. This operation produces reds with characteristics of macerated white wine (orange wine), particularly in terms of structure and structure. No filtration, fining, or addition of sulfites.
Tasting
Clear, limpid, almost pink color; beautiful aromatic richness, nicely tannic mouthfeel. Vers la Maison rouge is a beautiful, lively, energetic, mineral red wine, offering notes of redcurrant and small red fruits on the palate; but due to its production, it has a more solid structure than that of a rosé.
Learn more about Jean-Yves Péron
Jean-Yves Péron is a talented embodiment of the organic, biodynamic, and natural renaissance of the Savoyard vineyard, which is based on varied soils and numerous indigenous grape varieties (Jacquère, Altesse, Mondeuse, etc.). At his Chevaline winery in the Bauges region, he vinifies grapes from his plots in Conflans, near Albertville, and Fréterive, in the Isère valley.
High-altitude biodynamics
Jean-Yves Péron's work follows the principles of minimal intervention. On narrow, steep slopes, his hand-worked mountain vines in micro-plots receive no synthetic products, Jean-Yves preferring horsetail and nettle manure. All of Jean-Yves Péron's wines are sulfite-free, made from hand-harvested grapes, vinified in whole bunches and foot-trodden in the vat. For all vintages, the free-run and press are blended, then aged on lees for at least one year, in two- or three-wine barrels, amphorae or tuns, before final blending. They must be stored at a temperature below 18°C. No sulfites are added, or as little as possible, and the wines are not fined or filtered.
Italo-Savoyard trade
Since 2011, a trading activity has allowed Jean-Yves Péron to buy the harvest from neighboring organic winegrowers and to collaborate with winegrowers from Northern Italy: this is the I Vicini series, which allows him to diversify the terroirs and deepen his experiences in winemaking and aging.
Les Larmes des Roses Red 2023
Les Larmes des roses is an organic and natural red wine made from 100% Pinot (several varieties), with no added sulfites, produced by Cyril Alonso in Marchampt, in the Beaujolais Vert terroir. Classified as a Vin de France, it was previously called "Les Larmes des Damas" in homage to Henry Frédéric Roch, of the Prieuré-Roch estate in Côte-d'Or, who vinified the ancient Pinot de Damas variety. From Damascus to roses, there is only one step.
Vinification
The vines grow on a 2-are plot, on gray granite soils with wild grass. They are Pinot of various varieties (Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Plant Fin or Pinot Fin, Pinot Modri from Slovenia) pruned in goblet form, aged from four to thirty years and cultivated without plowing, in organic farming and agroforestry. Fermentation is done by indigenous yeasts without starter culture. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels of several wines (seven for this vintage) for 36 months. Two barrels (600 bottles) were produced. No chemical inputs were added to the vineyard or the cellar.
Tasting
This wine, which inaugurates its first vintage, is more full-bodied, less clear than Le Retour des Hirondelles, from the same estate. Beautiful ruby, red-pink color. Having aged for a long time in barrels, it is complex, patinated, polished. Notes of leather, amber, vanilla orchid. This haute couture wine will pair well with select foods: high-end grilled or roast beef, charcuterie and cured meats, Iberian bellota ham, comforting stews, for example a good cassoulet.
Learn more about Tribu Alonso
This tribal name refers to Cyril Alonso, winemaker, his wife, a naturopath, and their family. They take care, using organic farming, of a conservatory of traditional grape varieties from the Rhône-Alpes region located in Marchampt (Rhône), in the heart of Beaujolais Vert. This two-and-a-half-hectare ampelothèque, which existed since 1952, then had forty grape varieties. It currently contains one hundred and forty. This unique location gives Tribu Alonso wines their particular style. Instead of being single-varietal microcuvées, they are quite the opposite: wines by grape family, either a Chardonnay containing all the Chardonnays of the house or a multi-Gamay Gamay.
A biotope classified in 2008
The estate enjoys a unique ecological location: the house and the vineyard are surrounded by intact forests, on the steep terrain of northern Beaujolais. Three rivers cross it, and the vines, close to the bedrock, capture all the minerality of the soil. Organic farming is practiced and the work, in the vineyard as well as in the cellar, is entirely manual, without the use of any chemical additives or sulfites in the vinification.
The wines
Complantation cuvées (and for good reason), the wines of Tribu Alonso embrace all the complexity of their grape varieties and the viticultural history of Beaujolais. These are carefully crafted wines, fermented and aged to the sound of Tibetan bowls, whose alpha waves are beneficial to the liquids. The fermentation periods are short to preserve the freshness and fruit, as well as the signature of the soil and grape varieties.

Skin Contact Zizifredo is an organic and natural wine, a blend of southern grape varieties: Grenache Gris, Bourboulenc, and Muscat d'Alexandrie, grown on clay-limestone soils and macerated for a long time on the skins. Beyond the pun included in the name, it also alludes to Zibibbo, the Sicilian name for Muscat d'Alexandrie. To discover other maceration wines made from southern grape varieties, also check out Jean-Louis Pinto or the La Sorga estate.
Vinification
The organic grapes, harvested by hand in the south of France, are vinified in Burgundy by Frédéric Cossard. The grapes macerate for nine months in whole bunches before being slowly pressed. The wine is aged in concrete eggs. Skin Contact Zizifrédo is bottled without the addition of sulfites, fining, or filtration.
Tasting
Rare and sophisticated with plenty of presence and character, Skin Contact Zizifrédo expresses notes of tropical fruits (pineapple) and various citrus fruits: mandarin, grapefruit, orange, in addition to iodine notes. On the palate, it is fresh and appetizing, with very fine tannins and plenty of fruit alongside the tension of a long-macerated wine. This wine is made for all pairings.
Learn more about Frédéric Cossard and the domaine de Chassorney
Frédéric Cossard and the domaine de Chassorney give the floor in organic and natural mode to the wines of Burgundy (and elsewhere), undistorted by agricultural chemicals, according to the style and convictions of this winemaker and merchant. Wherever the grapes come from, its wines bear the Cossard brand, both classic and creative.
Between viticulture and trade
Frédéric Cossard created the domaine de Chassorney 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 trading house and buys organic grapes from the greatest climates of Burgundy, but also from Jura, Languedoc and elsewhere.
A solid commitment to nature
At Frédéric Cossard, the work of the soil and the vines is done naturally: plowing by horse, biodynamics, no chemical fertilizers or weedkillers. The harvest, by hand, is carried out at full maturity. Frédéric Cossard's vintages are rare and sought-after, wines that are always highly anticipated but which sometimes require waiting.
La Belle Egarée White 2022
La Belle Égarée is an organic (Ecocert) and natural dry white wine from the Coteaux du Loir, made from Chenin Blanc, without any additives or inputs. It is produced by Renaud Guettier of La Grapperie in the Vin de France category.
Vinification
La Belle Égarée comes from a blend of old and young vines growing on clay-siliceous soils over limestone. The harvest is carried out by hand and is directly pressed, and the must ferments in barrels using indigenous yeasts. Fermentation is followed by one year of aging. No sulfites added at bottling.
Tasting
A superb white Chenin, fruity and mineral, La Belle Égarée is stunningly complex; it is a wine of pure poetry, a fairy tale, focused on roundness and maturity more than acidity. A floral nose of jasmine, hawthorn, and acacia, a palate all mirabelle plum, ripe apple, and white pineapple, with mineral touches of smoke and incense. And a well-managed oxidative touch, in addition to a little something bewitching that is quite difficult to explain. A chiseled, truly exceptional wine, to be reserved for the finest meals or drunk on its own. Pair it with the finest cuisine, that of special occasions. For example, caviar, bottarga, large smoked salmon, oysters. It will go very well with a bellota Iberian ham!
Learn more about Renaud Guettier and La Grapperie
In the Coteaux du Loir appellation, La Grapperie is the name of the estate of Renaud Guettier, who can be described as a master of Chenin, but also of Pineau d'Aunis, which is one of the oldest grape varieties in the Loire Valley.
The estate
Renaud's 60 hectares of hillside vines are protected from the north winds by the Bercé forest. Depending on the altitude, the terroirs are predominantly clay, flint, or sand. The grape varieties are the two traditionally authorized varieties in the appellation: Chenin for the whites and Pineau d'Aunis for 90% of the reds, the rest consisting of a few ares of Côt, Gamay, and Grolleau. Some vines are more than a hundred years old.
In the vineyard and the winery
The entire estate is organically cultivated. The soils are worked and all viticultural interventions are manual, including the harvest, carried out at full maturity, which is reflected in the fullness and smoothness of the wines. For the reds, the Pineaux d'Aunis are partially destemmed (depending on the plot) and the macerations are quite long, three to four weeks, with punching down, to promote aging potential. The wines are aged in barrels for between twelve and twenty-four months, then racked, blended, and bottled without filtration. For the whites, the Chenins are pressed directly at low pressure and then put into barrels with complete malolactic fermentation, for at least eighteen months, including malolactic fermentation, and sometimes up to thirty-six months.
Magma Red 2020
Magma is Frank Cornelissen's classic red grand cru. Produced organically (Eurofeuille label) and biodynamically, and classified as DOP (AOP) Sicilia-IGP Terre Siciliane Nerello Mascalese, it is a wine for laying down, produced only in great vintages, when phenolic maturity is reached. It comes from old, ungrafted Nerello Mascalese vines, planted in 1910 on the Barbabecchi contrada, at an altitude of 910 m, renowned for capturing the first rays of the sun in the cool of the morning.
Vinification
This natural, organic, and biodynamic wine is obtained by sixty days of skin maceration of destemmed and lightly crushed grapes. No fining, no addition of sulfites. Light filtration before bottling.
Tasting
Magma restores the remarkable depth of Nerello Mascalese. Rich and elegant, with a dense texture, it has character, personality, and great finesse. More mineral than fruity, it offers notes of secondary fruits (blackberry, prune) and melted tannins. This great wine requires great dishes: we recommend stewed beef or coq au vin. So think about a can of Isabelle Leydier Delavallade or Fermiers du Bord de Sèvre.
Learn more about Frank Cornelissen
A key and universally respected figure in natural, organic and biodynamic wine, the Belgian Frank Cornelissen, a winemaker conquered by Sicily, is a classic. This man of constant questioning lives in human and cosmic resonance with his terroir: he has demonstrated that the powerful minerality of a great volcanic soil could be highlighted by the naturalness of his wines.
An ideal terroir for plot-by-plot vinification
In Passopisciaro, Sicily, in the north of the Etna valley, the 19 plots cover 24 hectares of basalt soils spread over numerous localities (contrade) between 600 and 900 meters above sea level on the side of the volcano. It is, says Frank Cornelissen, the "Night Coast of Sicily". Frank Cornelissen's contrade are all cultivated biodynamically and vinified separately: he decides on the blends based on the quality of each.
The nobility of Nerello Mascalese
Nerello Mascalese is the dominant variety and alone makes up the greatest vintages. This traditional red grape variety from the northern Etna valley produces hypermineral wines due to its long growing cycle. Other grape varieties in the azienda: Nerello Capuccio, Minella Bianco, Minella Nera, Alicante Bouschet, Malvasia, Catarratto, Moscadella, Grecanico Dorato, Carricante…
LP Clarete Red 2021,
Clarete ("clairet") lives up to its name with its light, airy tannins. Medium-bodied, it is crisp, vibrant, and lively with refreshing acidity. It is a wine full of red fruits and spices, elegant without being solemn, and therefore suitable for all occasions. This is a blend of red and white grape varieties that represents an ampelographic anthology of the estate, as it brings together 80% red grape varieties (Jaen, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Alfrocheiro) and 20% white grape varieties (Encruzado, Bical, Malvasia, Cerceal and Terrantez). The effect produced by this blend is an increased fluidity of the red wine, which becomes supple and light. The vines grew on granite and clay-sand soils facing south in the hills of Penalva do Castelo, surrounded by oak, pine, olive and chestnut trees. The harvest is manual. The grapes are destemmed and slowly crushed by foot for two days before macerating in stainless steel vats. Fermentation is spontaneous, using indigenous yeasts. Aging is ten months and bottling is done without filtration. No chemical inputs are added to the vineyard or the winery.
To find out more
The duality of the name Ladidadi/Pinheiro is simply due to the fact that this winemaking entity is the result of a friendship: that of Florian Tonello, creator of the Ladidadi Wine brand, wine merchant-DJ-globetrotter who devotes his life to making natural wines known and loved, and Hugo Pinheiro, winemaker at the head of a small estate of two and a half hectares in Penalva do Castelo, district of Viseu, Dão appellation (central Portugal). Together, they decided to produce several vintages of natural wines, obtained through organic farming, manual harvests, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, without filtration or the addition of sulfites, from the emblematic grape varieties of the appellation on an estate planted around thirty years ago, with a small part planted in the 1980s. We therefore find Touriga Nacional as the main grape variety in red, followed by Clarete, Jaen and Encruzado, and in white Malvasia, Cerceal, Bical and Terrantez. Vibrant, lively wines, and a great opportunity to discover Portugal's wine-growing region in natural mode.
Lou Dilun Red 2021,
Lou Dilun ("Monday" in Provençal) is an organic and natural wine from the Côtes-de-Provence appellation and under the Écocert organic label, with no added sulfites. In the Grimaud vineyards, the Grenache and Cinsault grapes are selected on the vine. Everything is done, in the vineyard and in the cellar, to ensure the harvest is in perfect health and to avoid the use of sulfur in the vineyard or sulfites in the cellar. Fresh on the palate, Lou Dilun is lively and fruity, silky and velvety, with beautiful body. Light notes of fruit pit emerge from the framework of melted tannins. The secret to its incomparable roundness and fruitiness? Six months of aging in Atelier Centre France oak barrels. This is a wine that will be a pleasure to pair with a beautiful roast poultry.
Learn more about Clos des B
Clos des B (initials of the two owners) is an organic and natural wine estate located in Grimaud, in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. Gwendolyn Berger and Jean-Jacques Branger are the proud producers of the very first natural cuvées from this geographical area. Before the two Bs bought these three hectares of vines, all these wines went to the cooperative cellar of the Vignerons de Saint-Tropez. Driven by a "thirst for vines," as they say, Gwendolyn and Jean-Jacques overcame administrative difficulties, restored the vineyard, and soon produced reds, rosés, and even a blanc de noirs. Their grape varieties are typical of the region: Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, growing on schistose sands crossed by quartz veins. The property benefits from a microclimate that protects the vines from humidity, disease, and frost. The viticulture and winemaking approach resolutely embraces organic (the estate is under the Ecocert label, applied for in 2020), biodynamics, and natural. The wines are without added sulfites, fining, or filtration. The wines of Clos des B are a true reflection of their terroir and climate: fresh, fruity, and very pleasant to drink, beautiful natural wines from the terroir of Provence.
TP Trepat Red 2021
Partida Creus
Made from Trepat, an ancient native Catalan grape variety, this red wine, classified as Vino de Mesa (table wine), offers plenty of freshness with notes of red and black fruits (plum, pomegranate, cherry, raspberry), Mediterranean herbs, and well-integrated tannins, with touches of leather and a supple texture. On the palate, it is lively, light, and balanced, with suppleness. It allows for a very wide range of flavor pairings.

Partida Creus is an important estate, both from a winemaking and historical perspective—we're talking about the history of the vine in Catalonia. Massimo Marchiori and Antonella Gerosa, originally from Piedmont—and even from the Langhe region, where wine is well-versed—first pursued careers as architects in Barcelona. But the wine bug tickled them, and they soon abandoned the big city and its sophistication for the vineyards of southern Catalonia, in Bonastre in Baix-Penedés. There they found a number of abandoned vineyards planted with a dizzying diversity of traditional Catalan grape varieties, which they passionately revived to save these varieties—and their wines—from oblivion. For them, it's not just a matter of saving their heritage, no: it's a matter of taste and nature. Of natural wines, which they will never stop making from now on on these sandy, poor, clay-limestone or clay-gravel soils, poor and poorly irrigated, where the vines suffer to produce their best juice. Massimo and Antonella practice organic, biodynamic, entirely manual and natural viticulture in order to give new life to these wines. Vinyater, sumoll, garrut, monastrell, ull de perdiu, ull de llebre, sumoll, queixal de llop, cariñena, trepat, ceciat parent, maccabeu, parellada, pansé, bobal, cartoixà vermell or xarel·lo: it is a true conservatory of the native Catalan grape varieties that Partida Creus cares for. There is also Moscatel, Grenache, Merlot and Cabernet (among others). Few wineries can boast of growing so many different grape varieties. The wines reflect this diversity, with winemakers striving to best convey the signature of the soil and the grape variety: single varietals are common among them, alongside very rich blends, all in the styles dear to Catalonia: still wine, "ancestral" sparkling wine, and even vermouth. The bottles themselves are works of art: bare glass, simply marked with two large stenciled initials that indicate the cuvée. The wines, fresh, vibrant, lush but always straightforward and impeccably juicy and fruity, breathe life. The arrival of a Partida Creus at the table always elicits cries of satisfaction.
GT Garrut Red 2017
With GT Garrut, a lovely and unusual single-varietal wine, the surprise knows no bounds and thirst is quickly quenched. The purplish color alone is a testament to its originality. It is made entirely from Garrut, a Catalan grape variety related to Mourvèdre, also called Monastrell. GT Garrut displays beautiful, earthy and intense qualities, with a strong black fruit character, particularly blackberry (blackberry or tree blackberry). Beautiful notes of red fruit as well, and a delicious acidity. This brilliant wine, perfect for the summer months, is harvested by hand. Fully destemmed, the grapes macerate for three days with a punch-down every three hours, and the alcoholic fermentation on indigenous yeasts takes place for four months in stainless steel vats, followed by twenty months in oak barrels. Unfiltered, unfined, no sulfites added. GT Garrut smells of family vines, artisanal, wine without limits.

L'air de Rien Sparkling Rosé 2020
Jérome Lambert
Despite its name, L'Air de rien is not lacking in air, as it has a healthy dose of bubbles, effervescence, pleasure, and color. This is a sparkling natural rosé with a beautiful light color, Montmorency cherry, crushed strawberry. Intensely refreshing with delicate mineral aromas and quite a few small red fruits, ennobled by a gentle bitterness that adds an extra dimension to this beautiful wine with sweet orange peel on the finish. This lovely and tender pet'nat' comes from a hand-harvested Gamay grape growing on schist and clay-limestone soils. The harvest is processed by direct pressing and the wine is aged on lees before disgorging.
To find out more
On his four-hectare estate, entirely organic and planted with Chenin, Grolleau, Gamay and Cabernet Franc, Jérôme is as much a winemaker as he is a farmer: he raises chickens, pigs, sheep and takes this mixed crop-livestock activity very seriously, coupled with the production of typical Anjou charcuterie. His Loire Eden, in fact, is located in the south of Anjou, in Rablay-sur-Layon. The son of a winemaker, as a child, he already enjoyed picking grapes, crushing them and letting them ferment. The desire to make wine has never left him, in fact: in 2003, he got his hands dirty, took part in pruning the vines at Philippe Cesbron's and took the opportunity to try his hand at some grapes donated by local winegrowers. The following year, his adventure really began with twenty ares of vines, but although his estate grew year by year, it would not reach one hectare for another fifteen years. In 2003, he discovered that adding sulfite was detrimental to the wines: he never added more and was completely satisfied with the result, without making too much noise about it around him. It was only a little later that he learned about the existence of natural wines and understood that he was not alone. All his vintages since then have been without added sulfur, and are nonetheless straightforward, drinkable and flawless. For him, even the wood of the barrels is an additive; This shows the attention he pays to the naturalness and truth of the vine.
Magnum Tonton Grolleau Red 2019
As its name suggests, this is a 100% Grolleau from old vines (eighty years old) growing on schist soils. The plots once belonged to the Domaine des Sablonnettes (Rablay-sur-Layon). The harvest macerates for three weeks in whole bunches. Beautifully fruity, with the characteristic plum nuance of the grape variety, spicy, and with a supple and light texture.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.
My Sweet Navine White 2013
A small bottle but a great wine! A sweet white made from 100% Chenin, My Sweet Navine is produced from late harvests on the schist plot where the estate's other Chenins are also grown. A delicate amber color, with notes of citrus and candied fruit on the nose. On the palate, there is a surprising freshness despite the residual sugar: this is explained by the lack of sorting, as the grapes are at varying stages of ripeness. We thus benefit from green berries, ripe berries, and varying degrees of noble rot. and a light sparkle which gives way to a beautiful length, always with notes of candied fruit.
Natural wine without added sulfites.

This Nuits-Saint-Georges "Les Damodes" is a beautiful organic and natural Burgundy red wine produced by Frédéric Cossard. It seems that the name of the vineyard, Les Damodes, comes from ancient female deities dating back to before the Gallo-Roman period: earth goddesses and druidesses.
Vinification
100% Pinot Noir, this wine comes from the Damodes plot in the Nuits-Saint-Georges AOC. The vines are planted on finely gravelly brown limestone soils and on clay-silt fractions. The grapes macerate in whole bunches. Aging is approximately one year in barrels.
Tasting
The climate of the Damodes has a reputation for giving wines great finesse, tenderness and silkiness on a solid structure. This is the case for this Pinot Noir, concentrated, floral, structured and fresh, with silky tannins as desired. It will love to be drunk alongside charcuterie, cured meats, grilled or roasted meats of all kinds, beautiful poultry (duck or pigeon) and old-fashioned pâtés en croûte, hot or cold.

Frédéric Cossard created the Domaine de Chassorney 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 trading house and buys organic grapes from the greatest climates of Burgundy, but also from Jura, Languedoc and elsewhere.
A solid commitment to nature
At Frédéric Cossard, the work of the soil and the vines is done naturally: plowing by horse, biodynamics, no chemical fertilizers or weedkillers. The harvest, by hand, is carried out at full maturity. Frédéric Cossard's vintages are rare and sought-after, wines that are always highly anticipated but which sometimes require waiting.
