Burgundy Bedeau red 2022

Fréderic Cossard

Bedeau is an organic and natural red wine from Frédéric Cossard in the AOC/AOP Bourgogne region. While a "generic" red Burgundy, it perfectly evokes the character of its appellation and is suitable for all occasions. This is the red counterpart to the Bigotes cuvée.

Vinification

Bedeau is made from Pinot Noir vines grown on clay-limestone soils, on forty-year-old plots in Volnay and the surrounding area, as well as a plot of fifty-year-old vines in Nuits-Saint-Georges. The harvest is macerated in whole bunches.

Tasting

The nose is fresh, natural, evocative of tangy red fruits (morello cherry, plum, redcurrant). Bedeau is a beautiful, delicious and refined Pinot Noir, bursting with fresh, tangy and satiny fruit with a touch of insolence to enhance the whole. Lively and voluminous on the palate, spicy, with velvety and well-integrated tannins. Pair it with Red Meats, charcuterie, freshwater fish matelotes in red wine or beefstewed in sauce.

Frédéric Cossard and the Domaine de Chassorney gives voice to Burgundy wines (and others) in organic and natural ways, undistorted by agricultural chemicals, according to the style and convictions of this winegrower and merchant. Wherever the grapes come from, his 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.
