In Burgundy, there are several 1er Crus that rival or even surpass Grand Crus, and knowledgeable enthusiasts diligently collect such wines. This 1er Cru Les Monts Luisants is one of those wines. The lieu-dit “Monts Luisants” forms part of the Grand Cru Clos de la Roche and is adjacent to the Grand Cru Latricières-Chambertin. It is easy for anyone to imagine that this is an excellent location. The genius judge of vineyards, Frédéric Cossard has been purchasing grapes from this vineyard for many years, and those grapes are crafted into wine with a genius winemaking sensibility. This is one of the highlights of his series of red wines from Côte de Nuits, such as Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Chambolle-Musigny.

Les Damodes is located on the border with Vosne-Romanée. Over 55 years Vieilles Vignes from 0.3ha small parcel in Les Damodes. Pure extraction of fine Pinot-Noir. Sensual aroma, extremely fine texture on the palate.

In 2015, Marc Soyard acquired this small 0.33-hectare vineyard, located in Chenôve next to Bizot's Le Chapître. The vineyard was planted in 1983 and 2001 on clay-limestone soil and is farmed biodynamically.
The winemaking process uses whole bunches with semi-carbonic maceration for two weeks in open wooden vats before fermentation. The wine is fermented by natural yeast with no added SO2, and undergoes no racking, fining, or filtering. It is aged for 15 months in used oak barrels. Only 1,761 bottles were produced.

From the lieu-dit Les Gollardes, located in the northwest part of the appellation. Frédéric Cossard took over this plot from a friend and has been managing it since 2007. The vineyard area is a mere 0.43 hectares, with an average vine age of over 60 years. Aurélien Verdet completed the harvest of Pinot Noir in this lieu-dit in 2022. It was the latest harvest for red wines.
This cuvée is particularly notable for its differences from Frédéric Cossard's style, being thicker and juicy. The wine is elegant, and like Saint Romain Sous Roche and Volnay, it also benefits from long-term aging potential. The wine undergoes 100% whole-cluster fermentation with semi-carbonic maceration in a stainless steel tank. The aging process is conducted in traditional old pièces (228-liter barrels), resulting in a flawless, classic Burgundy.
|
Frédéric Cossard established Domaine de Chassorney in 1996 and spent 15 years perfecting this 1.4-hectare vineyard, gradually increasing its precision and cultivating it into one of the finest in Burgundy. After a three-year transition period, Aurélien Verdet took over the vineyard in 2022. The old vines, with an average age of over 70 years, produce wines that are like pure essences.
The difference from Frédéric Cossard is that the aging process, which was previously done in egg tanks and qvevris (2018 - 2021), has been switched back to barrels (old barrels), a method that Cossard also used until 2017. Given that Aurélien Verdet is known for crafting restrained and elegant wines, it seems that the merits of Sous Roche are being more directly highlighted as an authentic Burgundy wine. What is clear is the wine's potential for long-term aging.

In the 2022 vintage, Super Pink and Version Sud appear in unexpected styles, but Cuvée M seems to have finished in a style closer to the previous image. The taste is perfectly expressed by this label. Like Carignan, the Mourvèdre grape variety is generally blended with other grape varieties to create balance, but Frédéric Cossard seems to be looking at something different. He used 100% of this unique grape variety to bring out the beauty of Mourvèdre that no one had noticed before.
|
Frédéric Cossard has a new wine called Cuvée C, made from 100% Carignan. Southern French wines are often made by blending grapes with distinct personalities, such as Carignan, Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Syrah. However, leave it to Frédéric Cossard, originally from Burgundy, to create an incredibly delicious wine with 100% Carignan! It's juicy, smooth, and you can even sense a delicate touch. It's such a vibrant wine. In 2022, which saw record-breaking drought and heat waves, the grapes suffered from extreme water shortage until just before the harvest. However, rain fell right before the harvest, revitalizing the grapes and leading to a very successful harvest.
|
The label has changed, and the Version Sud has emerged with a completely different taste than last year. In 2022, which saw record drought and intense heat, the grapes suffered from extreme water shortage until right before harvest. The juice was concentrated, resulting in a powerful wine. However, this smoothness enhances its drinkability, and there is no trace of the dullness often found in ordinary Southern French wines.
