Cuvée YARD Champs Elysées Rouge 2022

Les Souriants

Les Souriants present a single-plot interpretation of Pinot Noir with their Cuvée YARD Champs Élysées 2022, sourced from a unique granite terroir in Beaujolais. This natural wine, certified organic, explores the finesse and depth of this grape variety, often underestimated in the region, yet finding superb resonance in these poor, mineral soils.

The Champs Élysées plot benefits from an ideal exposure and a light granite soil that forces the vines to root deeply, concentrating the aromas in small berries brimming with energy. The winemaking process remains true to the estate's philosophy: one month of maceration, gentle extraction, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and one year of aging in old barrels to respect the identity of the place.

In the glass, the wine offers a pure and charming nose: black cherry, candied red fruits, faded rose, with a subtle vegetal touch reminiscent of ripe stems. On the palate, the texture is fine, linear, fresh, almost crystalline. The Pinot Noir expresses itself in an elegant, slender version, with a light tannic structure and a floral and mineral finish.

YARD Champs Élysées is a gastronomic red, ideal with roasted meats, farm-raised chicken with chanterelles, or elaborate vegetarian dishes. It can be enjoyed now without decanting, or can evolve harmoniously over 5 years. Serve it lightly chilled, between 16 and 18°C, to reveal its full complexity.

A sincere, distinguished, and poetic single-plot cuvée.

The Roaring Twenties Ace: Magnum Rosé Pétillant 2018

Jean-Pierre Robinot

The excellence of aged pét-nat

With this sparkling cuvée, Jean-Pierre Robinot once again demonstrates the expressive power of natural wines patiently aged. No oenological intervention, no inputs, no rushing: only the alchemy of time, terroir, and grapes. The result, here in magnum, offers a gastronomic and vibrant bubble, perfect for large gatherings or cellaring.

Ancestral method, prolonged aging, generous format

A blend of Chenin and Pineau d'Aunis, this sparkling rosé is made using the ancestral method: natural fermentation interrupted, then resumed in the bottle without any additions. The wine then rests for a long time on laths, in several-wine barrels, to gain texture and complexity. The schist soil provides tension and verticality.

Quince, flowers, and red berries: a chiseled bubble

The nose evokes fresh quince, white flowers, and tart red berries. The palate is ample, very slightly creamy, but lively, with a fine, perfectly integrated bubble. The long aging on laths is felt in the texture and aromatic persistence. A natural sparkling cuvée that combines freshness and sophistication.

Pairings & serving: festive and refined

To share as an aperitif with fine charcuterie, or to accompany spicy dishes with sweet or oriental spices. This magnum should be served between 10 and 12°C, without decanting. It is ready to drink, but can still evolve in the cellar for lovers of mature bubbles.

Retour de Milan, White 2023

Fond Cyprès

With Retour de Milan, Fond Cyprès unveils a brilliant and unprecedented interpretation of Muscat Petit Grain, vinified as a macerated white. This organic orange wine from Languedoc, as elegant as it is expressive, breaks new ground to offer a unique, fresh, and gourmet sensory experience.

A subtle maceration

Here, whole Muscat grapes are macerated for a few days to provide texture and complexity without losing the delicacy of the varietal. Fermentation is spontaneous, using indigenous yeasts, without oenological additives, followed by 5 months of aging in concrete egg, which promotes the wine's natural movement and gentle contact with the lees. The result: a lively, textured juice, yet with exemplary freshness.

A luminous and aromatic orange wine

The nose is vibrant, with notes of bergamot, citrus zest, orange blossom, and fresh lychee. On the palate, the wine balances tension and sweetness, with very fine tannins and a delicately bitter finish that prolongs the pleasure. It is a digestible, chiseled orange wine, both floral and citrusy.

Bold pairings, immediate pleasure

Serve between 10 and 12 °C, without decanting. This wine pairs ideally with Asian cuisines (mild spices, Thai curry, sashimi), aged cheeses (blue cheese, long-aged tommes) or even a lightly sweetened fruit dessert. It can age in the cellar for 5 to 10 years.

Aquavit

Distillerie du Viaduc

With this Aquavit distilled in Paris, Distillerie du Viaduc pays homage to Scandinavian traditions while asserting a resolutely artisanal and local identity. Inspired by Nordic aquavits, this organic spirit is based on caraway, whose aromatic depth structures the whole. The botanicals used, caraway, dill, fenugreek, and orange peel, are all from organic French agriculture and undergo slow maceration before complete distillation in a traditional still.

Sugar-free, dye-free, and additive-free, this cuvée expresses remarkable purity. The nose is immediately warm, dominated by caraway, balanced by aniseed notes and zesty freshness. On the palate, the attack is round, almost gourmet, followed by a spicy, slightly smoky framework thanks to the fenugreek, and subtly softened by dill. The finish reveals a pleasant orange sweetness, long and refreshing, with a very elegant herbaceous return.

This new generation aquavit can be enjoyed neat or on ice, as a digestif, or as an aperitif, lengthened with a dry tonic or ginger beer. It also perfectly accompanies smoked fish, Nordic savory dishes, or plant-based cuisine with caramelized or earthy notes. At 42%, it remains accessible, fine, and well-balanced, reflecting the precise work of Distillerie du Viaduc.

A beautiful tribute to Northern Europe, with a French terroir accent.

Green Absinthe

Distillerie Awen Nature

The result of meticulous expertise deeply rooted in plants, Distillerie Awen Nature's Green Absinthe, based in Brittany, is a rare and vibrant spirit, at the crossroads of ancestral traditions and contemporary herbalism. Crafted from a rigorous selection of organic plants, including absinthe of course, but also hemp, mint, lemongrass, and hyssop, this cuvée proudly displays its 60% ABV, while maintaining astonishing finesse.

Here, there are no artificial colors or additives: the magnificent green hue comes exclusively from post-distillation plant maceration, according to methods respectful of tradition. The plants are distilled separately, then precisely blended to create a rich and balanced aromatic profile.

On the nose, it's an explosion of herbaceous and floral notes: you'll find the freshness of mint, the light citrus, and the depth of hyssop mingled with resinous touches of hemp. On the palate, the attack is bold yet silky, carried by a beautiful, elegant bitterness, without heaviness or excess. The finish is long, fresh, almost medicinal, with a natural tension that makes it an absinthe for tasting, but also an exceptional cocktail base.

Certified organic (Eurofeuille + AB), this absinthe respects both the plant and the palate. A committed, artisanal, local distillation that restores absinthe to its former glory while exploring new botanical avenues thanks to hemp.

Amphore Rouge, 2023

Philippe Chatillon

With Amphore 2023, Philippe Chatillon delivers a rare and unique red cuvée, blending the typicality of the Jura with an ancestral aging method. This certified organic natural wine, classified as Vin de France, comes from a subtle blend of Pinot Noir and Trousseau, two emblematic grape varieties of the Jura, grown on clay-limestone soils and vinified with a spirit of purity and respect for the fruit.

After a short one-week maceration, the wine is aged for two years in amphorae (qvevris), these terracotta jars traditionally used in Georgia. This aging choice allows for slow and natural oxygenation, without the transfer of woody aromas, thus preserving the frankness of the fruit, the floral delicacy, and the complexity of the wine.

On the nose, Amphore 2023 immediately captivates: crisp red fruits, violet, a fresh herbaceous note, and a slightly earthy touch that recalls the very material of the amphora. On the palate, it is a light, fluid, yet structured wine, with a natural tension and a beautiful aromatic persistence. The balance between the finesse of Pinot Noir and the vitality of Trousseau is remarkable, supported by an aging process that acts as a revealer rather than a disguise.

At the table, this vibrant red will accompany grilled red meats, root vegetable dishes, or fine charcuterie. It will express itself fully at around 12 to 14°C, after decanting, and can be kept for 5 to 10 years.

With this cuvée, Philippe Chatillon creates an author's red wine, free and inspired, where the terroir of the Jura meets the millennial wisdom of amphora winemaking.

Le Sage Vagnin, White 2023

Philippe Chatillon

Le Sage Vagnin 2023 is a precious, exclusive, and wise vintage. Only 800 bottles are produced each year, all from a small walled vineyard (clos) planted with 65-year-old Savagnin vines, deeply rooted in the grey Jurassic marl. This rarity is the result of the precise and inspired work of Philippe Chatillon, a winemaker sensitive to living things, whose estate is certified organic and located in Arbois, the birthplace of the grape variety.

Vinified with direct pressing and then aged for two years in old barrels, this AOC Arbois white wine stands out for its aromatic purity and balanced roundness. No new wood, no additives: just the grapes, time, and the winemaker's care. The result is a nuanced Savagnin, with a mineral roundness, between tension and sweetness.

The nose is both expressive and delicate: fresh citrus, white peach, acacia blossom, with a subtle mineral touch. On the palate, the texture is round yet taut, with a beautiful length, an elegant saline sensation, and a fresh, floral finish. The wine avoids any heaviness, playing on the perfect balance between the natural richness of the grape variety and the finesse of the terroir.

Le Sage Vagnin will gracefully accompany seafood, aged cheeses like Comté or Bleu de Gex, but also more spicy, oriental, or vegetarian cuisine. Serve between 10 and 12°C, with light decanting, and enjoy now or keep for up to 5 years.

A rare wine, for lovers of finesse and Jura's unique character.

Puits Saint Pierre, White 2023

Philippe Chatillon

The Puits Saint Pierre 2023 cuvée by Philippe Chatillon is a magnificent tribute to Savagnin, the iconic grape variety of the Jura, meticulously crafted with remarkable precision. Sourced from the estate's finest parcel, planted on typical Côtes du Jura marl soils, this natural white wine, certified organic, embodies Jura tradition while asserting a pure, clean, and vibrant style.

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness then pressed directly, without maceration, to preserve freshness and varietal expression. The wine is then aged for two years in old barrels, without oenological intervention or new wood, allowing for subtle micro-oxygenation that refines the structure and develops aromatic complexity.

On the nose, it's a festival of sensations: dried apricot, delicate honey, a hint of brioche, alpine herbs, and a chalky minerality that hints at the tension on the palate. The palate is direct, dry, taut, with superb acidity that carries the flavors to a long, saline finish. The balance between the subtle richness of the aging and the natural straightforwardness of the grape makes it an excellent gastronomic wine.

Puits Saint Pierre pairs ideally with iodized seafood, aged Comté cheese, or spicy dishes with oriental flavors. Decanting is recommended for it to fully open up. It can be enjoyed now for its purity or aged 5 to 10 years to gain complexity. Serve chilled, between 10 and 12°C.

Philippe Chatillon delivers a deep and sincere wine, both rooted in its terroir and of rare elegance.

Covenant Red 2020

Danis dans la Vigne

An exceptional Malbec, matured in the silence of the cellar

Covenant 2020 embodies the philosophy of long-term patience. A truly unique cuvée by Danis dans la Vigne, crafted with rare precision. This 100% Malbec, organically grown on the clay-limestone soils of deep Cahors, is naturally vinified without unnecessary oenological intervention, with a short maceration, then aged for three years in barrels, topped up only once a year. This demanding, bold method allows the wine to concentrate, oxidize slowly, and round out in a near-oxidative dynamic, before a year in stainless steel tanks, then a year of rest in the bottle.

A mature, complex, accomplished wine that contrasts with the sometimes raw image of Malbec. Covenant lives up to its name: a true pact between time, matter, and the winemaker's craft.

Deep, enveloping, meditative

Upon serving, the wine reveals a dark color with deep garnet reflections. The nose is captivating: bitter cocoa, sweet spices, stewed black fruit, truffle, almost a hint of leather. On the palate, it's a unique experience. The texture is velvety, full-bodied, yet perfectly balanced. The length is remarkable, persistent, with a saline finish. One senses a wine in full maturity, ready to be enjoyed, but also built for aging.

Covenant 2020 is perfect for noble red meats, game, a truffle dish, or even a dark chocolate dessert for the most adventurous. Serve at 16-18°C, without decanting, in a large glass that allows it time to breathe.

YARD x Bois Moisset Cuvée (exclusive cuvée) Sparkling Rosé 2024

Domaine Bois Moisset

Terroir, plot size and grape varieties

Born from the dialogue between the ancestral terroir of Gaillac and a contemporary vision of winemaking, the YARD x Bois Moisset Sparkling Wine 2024 embodies a luminous encounter between tradition and freshness. The Bois Moisset estate, located in the heart of the Tarn vineyards, passionately cultivates the indigenous grape varieties Braucol and Duras. These varieties, typical of Southwest France, lend their unique character to this rosé: Braucol for its vivacity and aromas of red fruit, and Duras for its finesse and floral notes. The clay-limestone soil, bathed in sunshine and caressed by the breezes of the Tarn River, imparts a beautiful tension and a pure expression of fruit to the grapes.

Cultivation methods

Long committed to sustainable viticulture, Domaine Bois Moisset is certified organic. The vines are cultivated without synthetic inputs, in a living ecosystem where observation takes precedence over intervention. The soils are worked gently, fostering flourishing biodiversity and true harmony between the vine and its environment. This artisanal philosophy naturally extends to the cellar, where winemaking is as gentle as possible. The secondary fermentation, likely natural, gives this cuvée its sparkling, fine bubbles, without ever compromising the purity of the fruit.

Tasting & pairings

Slightly cloudy, by design, this 2024 sparkling rosé displays a delicate, salmon-pink hue. On the nose, an intoxicating bouquet of orange blossom and strawberry unfolds, reminiscent of the sweetness of a spring garden. On the palate, the bubbles are lively yet delicate, supporting a light and refreshing, almost carefree, texture. The overall impression is dry, remarkably drinkable, with a fruity touch that evokes homemade strawberry granita.

Ideal for pairing with lightly sweetened desserts, such as raspberry panna cotta or a delicate peach tart, this wine also proves remarkably well-suited to raw fish: sashimi, ceviche, or tartare harmonize beautifully with its floral freshness and fine acidity. A free-spirited, joyful, and genuine sparkling wine, perfect for spontaneous moments, summer aperitifs, and large gatherings where toasts are raised informally but with enthusiasm.

Lutea Gentian Liqueur

Lutea Spirits

Terroir, plot size and grape varieties

Nestled in the heart of the volcanic landscapes of the Auvergne region, Lutéa Spirits draws its inspiration from the wild hills and high-altitude meadows of this authentic area. It is here, on these living, nourishing soils, that the fresh yellow gentian, queen of bitter plants, flourishes. Hand-picked with respect for the plant's natural rhythm, this powerful root embodies the botanical and mountain identity of Lutéa liqueur, a true tribute to a preserved and untamed terroir.

Cultivation methods

True to its artisanal and committed vision, Lutéa Spirits works exclusively with certified organic ingredients. Every step, from cultivation to maceration, is designed to reveal the purity of the plants, without artifice or compromise. The gentian roots are freshly harvested and then carefully infused alongside other meticulously selected botanicals: basil, mint, licorice, anise... so many botanical touches that enrich the aromatic profile. No coloring, no superfluous additives: here, nature expresses itself in its purest form.

Tasting & pairings

Lutéa Gentian Liqueur 2024 is an ode to vegetal freshness. From the first whiff, it unfolds captivating aromas of raw gentian, crisp basil, and invigorating mint, enhanced by bursts of bright citrus and a hint of licorice. On the palate, the balance is remarkable: the gentle bitterness of gentian intertwines with anise and lemon notes, in a warm and lingering roundness.

As an aperitif, it can be enjoyed chilled, neat, or lengthened with a splash of sparkling water or dry tonic to reveal its complexity and vivacity. It also pairs brilliantly with a platter of mountain cheeses, black olives, or even a citrus and fresh herb dessert. Warm, intense, yet always elegant, this organic liqueur captivates with its aromatic purity and wild touch.

Ambre dissous Red 2020

The Alonso Tribe

Terroir, plot size and grape varieties

Born in the vibrant Beaujolais region, La Tribu Alonso's 2020 Ambre Dissous is a distinctive red wine, a wine of character that breaks with established norms. While Gamay takes center stage, it is an uncommon Gamay, made from teinturier grapes – a rarity in the region. This bold choice results in a captivatingly deep color, almost cloudy like the ink of mystery, and already hints at a singular expression of the terroir.

The vineyard stretches across granite soils typical of Beaujolais, in an area where the influences of the nearby Rhône are felt, bringing darker, spicier notes and a welcome tension. It is a land of contrasts, between the freshness of the north and the generosity of the south, which La Tribu Alonso has managed to tame with rare sensitivity.

Cultivation methods

The Alonso Tribe is, above all, a philosophy. It's a return to the essentials, a work in symbiosis with nature, far removed from artifice. The vines are cultivated without chemical inputs, respecting living organisms, lunar cycles, and the energies of the land. Here, each bunch is hand-picked, in an almost ritualistic gesture, then vinified with minimal intervention. Fermentation occurs naturally, with indigenous yeasts taking the reins to best express the identity of the grape and its terroir.

This artisanal approach yields a free, vibrant, unadorned wine, where the grape variety can sing without a false note. Ambre Dissous is a reflection of nature embraced, sometimes wild, but always sincere.

Tasting & pairings

By the glass, Ambre Dissous 2020 immediately captivates with its deep, almost violet color, hinting at a wine with a strong character. The nose is a poem of spices: freshly ground black pepper, clove, with a delicate note of violet as a subtle reminder of Rhône influences. On the palate, the structure is assertive, the tannins present yet elegantly polished, offering a mouthfeel that is both firm and silky.

This wine is not meant to flatter; it challenges, questions, and invites contemplation. It can be enjoyed as an aperitif, to awaken the taste buds, or at the table, alongside a generous dish: a matured rib of beef, a lamb tagine with prunes, or even a wild mushroom risotto.

Ambre Dissous is a wine for sharing, but also for meditation. A bottle that tells a story, that of a marginalized grape variety, a reinvented terroir, and a tribe that, far from the beaten track, forges its own path with heart and conviction.

Amignes White 2017

Domaine Julien Guillon

Terroir, plot size and grape varieties

Perched high in the sun-drenched Valais region of Switzerland, the 2017 Amignes from Domaine Julien Guillon originates from a mountain vineyard where the Amigne grape variety expresses itself with rare purity. On these steep slopes, bathed in sunshine yet cooled by alpine breezes, the vines draw their strength from a living, mineral-rich soil. This interplay of altitude, light, and rock gives rise to a chiseled, concentrated fruit character that defines the unique identity of this dry and intense white wine.

Cultivation methods

Julien Guillon, a free and inspired winemaker, cultivates his vines like a wild garden. Using biodynamic methods, with absolute respect for the ecosystem and an extreme sensitivity to nature's rhythms, he guides each vine towards its full potential. Vinification is natural, without additives or artifice, allowing the Amigne grape to reveal its full truth. The long and meticulous aging process refines the wine without ever masking its tension or transparency.

Tasting & pairings

From the first whiff, the 2017 Amignes charms with its unique aromatic profile: fresh almond, ripe lemon, juicy white fruit, wild honey, and alpine herbs intertwine delicately. On the palate, the magic unfolds: a vibrant acidity provides energy and freshness, while a noble bitterness balances the whole, culminating in a precise and persistent finish. The palate is balanced and profound, with a chalky minerality reminiscent of the high-altitude terroir.

This wine calls for subtle and precise pairings: sea bream ceviche with lime, roasted white asparagus, aged sheep's milk cheese, or lightly spiced Asian cuisine. It will elegantly complement dishes that emphasize freshness and finesse.

The 2017 Amignes is the pure breath of the Swiss mountains, captured in a vibrant, precise, and luminous wine. A rare bottle, crafted by Julien Guillon, that brilliantly combines the nobility of a terroir with the freedom of a winemaker.

Gabbrodo Magnum White 2022

De Vini

De Vini's (Vinilibre) Gabbrodo 2022 is an ode to the terroir of the Pays Nantais. This natural wine, made without any additives, expresses with finesse the Melon de Bourgogne, the region's emblematic grape variety. Grown in gabbro soils, a rare volcanic rock in the Loire Valley, it benefits from nine months of aging in sandstone amphorae, imparting remarkable purity and tension to this exceptional white wine.

Its pale, golden robe heralds a luminous and crystalline wine. The nose seduces with its freshness and aromatic complexity: notes of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), white fruits (pear, peach), and a touch of iodine that recalls its maritime origins. On the palate, the attack is crisp and lively, driven by a beautiful acidity and a sharp minerality. Aging in amphorae imparts a silky texture while preserving the wine's tension and freshness. The finish is long and saline, with a delicately smoky persistence that invites further tasting.

The 2022 Gabbrodo proves to be an ideal companion for seafood. It will perfectly complement scallops with truffles, grilled lobster, sea bass baked in a salt crust, or pike-perch with beurre blanc sauce. Served between 10 and 12°C, it can be enjoyed now for its vibrant freshness or cellared for 5 to 10 years to reveal its full complexity.

Alburostre White 2023

De Vini

Alburostre is an organic, biodynamic, and natural white wine made by Christophe Bosque (De Vini) in the Nantes region from the Folle Blanche grape variety. It comes from vines grown in Gorges (Loire-Atlantique), on the winemaker's estate, in gabbro soils. Classified as Vin de France. Folle Blanche, also known as Gros Plant, is a grape variety typical of the Nantes region, where it has been known since the 16th century and thrives in gabbro soils. Highly suitable for distillation, it is also a grape variety used in Armagnac and Cognac. It typically produces wines with low alcohol content and a pale color: Alburostre embodies all of these qualities.

Winemaking

The organic Folle Blanche grapes harvested for Alburostre are pressed directly, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and then the wine is aged for nine months on its lees in stoneware jars. No fining, sulfiting, or filtration.

Tasting

Alburostre means "greenhorn" in Old French. Despite its pale color—typical of Folle Blanche—it's anything but an inexperienced novice. It's a very fine, easy-drinking white wine (10% alcohol), supple, pleasant, precise, and pure. A lovely yeasty, fermentary note rises above its simple description, enveloping the palate and further accentuating the wine's length. A truly indulgent wine: reserve it for the finest smoked salmon, seafood, and even caviar. The winemaker recommends salmon tartare with coriander, pollack fillet with beurre blanc sauce, or steamed goose barnacles.

Learn more about Christophe Bosque and De Vini

De Vini, along with the Vinilibre wine trading business, is the multifaceted venture of Christophe Bosque, originally from Saint-Nazaire. Wine has always been his passion. We are particularly interested in his local creations, made from grapes grown on his two-hectare vineyard and fermented in a traditional Nantes-style underground vat—a true reinvention of Muscadet (outside the appellation) in a natural style.

Gabbro melt

After years working as a wine merchant, importer, and then winemaker, this former cameraman, who holds a vocational diploma in oenology and viticulture, acquired a few plots (two hectares) of Melon de Bourgogne vines in 2017 in Gorges, Loire-Atlantique, near Clisson. The soils there consist of gabbro on a granite subsoil, a pedological configuration specific to the Nantes region and particularly to Clisson. Christophe is full of praise for this type of soil.

Muscadet, but better

Christophe's wines may be made from grapes sourced from the finest French terroirs, particularly in Languedoc, but the winemaker retains a special affection for his own vines, which he tends with passion and a deep respect for the terroir. His labels and appellations reveal a touch of humor and a flair for the pun, but inside the bottle, it's serious business: wines off the beaten path, just the way he likes them.

Amber Rum 45° - 70cl

Distillerie Longueteau

Longueteau Amber Rum is made from white rum and stored for eighteen months in oak barrels that previously contained cognac. There, it acquires a light tawny color, a delicate honeyed, cinnamon, and vanilla note, supported by a subtle acidity, while retaining a hint of the freshness of white rum. It's an all-terrain vintage that will delight rum lovers, but also bartenders, cooks, pastry chefs, and even those with a cold who will be delighted to be able to make themselves a grog.

To find out more
The Longueteau distillery, located in Capesterre-Belle-Eau (Guadeloupe), is the oldest distillery on the island still in operation. It has the distinction of being entirely self-sufficient in sugar cane production, which it uses to obtain its magnificent terroir agricultural rums. Agricultural rum, we should point out, is made from pure sugar cane juice, unlike many other Caribbean rums, which are produced from cane molasses. It is a specialty of the French Antilles. The estate is currently in the hands of François Longueteau, a distiller since 1979. Production is, as it was originally, artisanal and traditional, but the sugarcane terroirs are developed using plot-by-plot methods—this is Longueteau's unique feature, the first distillery on the island to adopt this approach. Two varieties of sugarcane, blue cane and red cane, are cultivated, as well as fruits from the Guadeloupe region. Longueteau rums and the resulting preparations (punches, shrubberies, etc.) are fine, aromatic, deep, and fragrant.

Morey Saint Denis les Champs de la Vigne Qvevris Red 2022

Fréderic Cossard

This great organic and natural red Burgundy wine is produced by Frédéric Cossard. Made entirely from Pinot Noir (a Pinot Fin variety), it is produced in the Morey-Saint-Denis appellation and comes from the "Les Champs de la Vigne" climate. Its distinctive feature is its terracotta aging, which suits it well.

Vinification

The vines grow on a clay-limestone plot and are around sixty years old. They are made from Pinot Fin grapes, an old strain of Pinot Noir that is increasingly rare in Burgundy. The harvest macerates in whole bunches and the wine is aged in qvevri (Georgian-style terracotta jars) for at least a year. This maturation gives it a velvety patina and allows its red fruit aromas to flourish.

Tasting

Typical of the Morey-Saint-Denis climate, this Champs de la Vigne is a powerful and complex wine, offering notes of violet and red fruits. It expresses opulent fruit and remarkable minerality. Great elegance and finesse, silky and satiny with a lovely earthy and mineral nuance. The qvevri accentuates its fruitiness and the melting tannins. It will be a pleasure to pair it with grilled duck breast, grilled meats, beef, charcuterie and salted meats.

Learn more about Frédéric Cossard and the domaine de Chassorney

Frédéric Cossard and the domaine de Chassorney give the floor to organic and natural wines from Burgundy (and elsewhere), undistorted by agricultural chemistry, 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.
