Magnum Volnay 1er Cru Les Roncerets Rouge 2018,

Domaine de Chassorney


This Volnay Premier Cru "Les Roncerets" is an extraordinarily complex wine, one of Frédéric Cossard's best and most renowned. On the nose, there are strawberry, candied fruit, spices, violet, and a very rich olfactory sensation. On the palate, there are blackberry, blackcurrant, cherry, but also an earthy and dark aromatic structure: leather, spices, mushroom, humus, smoke. The finish is very long, mineral, but still fruity. This magnum of a robust, great wine for laying down, which can be left for a while before drinking and will age magnificently, comes from seventy-year-old vines. The twelve-month aging process is carried out mainly in barrels, a third of which are new oak.

Through his entirely natural work, Frédéric Cossard gives voice to the terroirs and Burgundy wines, undeformed by agricultural chemicals. Having observed, during his years of trading, the existence of harmful viticultural practices, the winemaker used this counter-example 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 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 practice is not limited to Burgundy, as vintages are made from grapes purchased in the Jura, Languedoc, and elsewhere. At his farm, the soil and vines are worked as naturally as possible: regular horse-drawn ploughing, no addition of chemical fertilizers or weedkillers. The vines are tended according to biodynamic principles: 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. Red or white, classic Burgundies or more atypical or less "regional" bottles, Frédéric's vintages are rare and sought-after wines, which sometimes require waiting.
