2021 Frédéric Cossard La Chassornade

WINEMAKER: Frédéric Cossard
REGION: Burgundy, FR
VARIETY: Aligoté
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic

"From a forty year old parcel of Aligoté in Puligny, we can’t get enough of this fresh, vibrant petillant naturel. With no disgorgement, the wine remains on its lees in the bottle, making for a dry, cloudy and incredibly refreshing sparkling wine that is all lemons, sea salt and chalky minerals. A formidable apéritif." - Tutto

Starting from scratch in Burgundy is no mean feat. Frédéric Cossard was not born into winemaking, instead starting in the milk trade for ten years, before establishing Domaine de Chassorney in 1996. Working entirely organic with zero adds, Frédéric equates making unpasteurized raw-milk cheese to making sulphur free and chemical-free wines. His attention to detail and authentic expressions of terroir are unparalleled - a true master of natural wine with a cult following.
