This is a wine made from over 60 years of Vieilles Vignes planted on a small parcel of 0.2 ha in Lieu-dit Les Herbues. It has a sensual aroma with no heaviness; it is delicate and extremely smooth. What a beautiful liquid!
In contrast to the Vosne-Romanée 2018, this Chambolle-Musigny 2018 consistently exhibits an airy, pale, soft, and delicate style that can be considered a quintessential example of exceptional Chambolle-Musigny, both in the barrel, immediately after bottling, and now after several years of aging.
Frédéric Cossard established Domaine de Chassorney in 1996 after 10 years of experience as a wine merchant, and today he is well recognized as a top natural Burgundy winemaker who produces one of the most beautiful wines.
Frédéric Cossard manages his vineyards using 'homeopathic farming.' This is one of the most advanced agricultural practices, which is a mixture of homeopathy and biodynamics, and it has been developed by Frédéric Cossard himself. He does not use SO2 or any chemical products in the cellar, so vinification is also totally natural.
As a result of a high level of integration of sense, intelligence, and technique, the wines are extremely pure, clean, and directly express the terroir. Wines are linked with the movements of the moon and planets. We can enjoy many different faces of wines on different occasions. We can feel that the wines are alive in the bottle and in the glass; it is 'Vin Vivant.
[Domaine de Chassorney]
Frédéric Cossard has owned and managed the vineyards of Saint-Romain, Volnay, Savigny-lès-Beaune, and Hautes-Côtes de Beaune for 30 years, elevating them to be among the top vineyards in those appellations.
In 2018, Frédéric Cossard appointed his long-time friend Aurélien Verdet as the successor at Domaine de Chassorney. Together, they produced wine over a three-year transition period. The 2022 vintage is the first produced under the leadership of Aurélien Verdet, who has fully inherited Frédéric Cossard's methods and philosophy. The wax cap color has changed to orange. Meanwhile, the "FREDERIC COSSARD" labels for Vosne-Romanée, Chambolle-Musigny, and others will continue to be handled by Frédéric and Laure Cossard as usual.

Frédéric Cossard produces wines by purchasing grapes. He has established strong connections with growers through his previous job and has a discerning eye for selecting quality grapes. He produces Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, and Beaune—all Burgundy appellations. Additionally, Cossard produces wine from grapes sourced from other regions such as Jura, Languedoc, and Beaujolais. The quality of his négoce wines is the same as that of his domaine wines.
