Through his entirely natural work, Frédéric Cossard gives voice to the terroirs and Burgundy wines, undistorted by agricultural chemicals. Having observed, during his years of trading, 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 a while 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 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 regions. At his place, the work of the soil and the vines is done as naturally as possible: regular ploughing 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.

The Bigotes white is produced on a small plot of Chardonnay in the Burgundy regional appellation. It is, in a way, the white counterpart of the Bedeau red. The vinification benefits from the velvety, depth and sweetness of the fermentation and aging in qvevri, buried terracotta jars. The aromatic attack is distinctly lemony and continues with yellow fruits. On the palate, it's full-bodied, full-bodied, and delicious, with a touch of fat and plenty of persistence. For a generic wine, it's a lovely height.

Cuvée O Rouge 2015, Château Les Graves de Viaud
This confidential cuvée (1,200 bottles) of Côtes-de-Bourg is composed entirely of Cabernet Franc. The vines grow on gently sloping hillsides with clayey gravel soils. The harvest is manual, destemmed, and not crushed. Carried out in ovoid vats, the skin maceration is long: up to three months at controlled temperature. Fermentation is done by indigenous yeasts and no sulfur is added at bottling. This wine, as delicate as it is profound, has the particularity of being vegan (no animal products, therefore no egg-based fining). Upon tasting, the signature of Cabernet Franc is clearly present. The nose, fresh and spontaneous, offers notes of plum, violet, and peony. The palate is luscious, crisp and fresh, seductive, velvety, with great length: touches of strawberry and blackberry. The tannins are silky and melted.
