Bourgogne En Carran La Croix de Bernard Qvevris 2018 – Magnum

Domaine de Chassorney - Frédéric Cossard

Coming from a tiny plot of about a third of a hectare located in Saint-Romain, En Carran La Croix de Bernard 2018 is a rare Pinot Noir, produced only in magnum. The vines, about twenty years old, grow on a terroir rich in limestone. For this wine, Frédéric Cossard chose to age it in Georgian qvevris, large terracotta jars that help preserve the purity of the fruit while adding great finesse to the texture. The wine reveals a delicate register of cherry, raspberry, flowers, and spices, with a compact, elegant, and very fresh palate.

Cultivated according to the estate’s organic principles, hand-harvested, and fermented with indigenous yeasts, this Pinot Noir is made without fining or filtration and with minimal intervention. The magnum format further highlights its aging potential. Serve with roast poultry, duck, veal with mushrooms, fine charcuterie, or aged cheeses.
