Also new in 2022 is UGM Qvevris, a blend of Ugni Blanc, Grenache Blanc, and Muscat. The blend of these grape varieties is familiar in the Rhône, but Frédéric Cossard's unique sense of style shines through here as well. It has a significant volume, but the beautiful acidity gives the wine a three-dimensional quality and lifts it. A vibrant wine full of colorful fruit. The label expresses the image of a gentleman from the north, wearing a scarf, experiencing the southern sunshine.

Bigotes is a great natural wine classic, made from Chardonnay from the Puligny-Montrachet area, near Volnay and Pommard. The age of the vines is 55 years. Frederic Cossard produces wine exclusively from old vines. The fruit and mineral characteristics are well-balanced at a high level. The 2020 vintage is well matured today; it's the perfect time to uncork.
Immediately after opening, it emits bouquet and has quite a soft impression, but as time passes, it gains freshness and lively tension. People often describe Cossard's wines as Vin Vivant, and indeed, this Bigotes 2020 truly embodies that.

Saint-Romain is Cossard's home ground. This is a thrilling signature wine from Frédéric Cossard that puzzles wine critics and sommeliers. It deviates from the typical Burgundy Chardonnay. Combe Bazin belongs to the same geological stratum as Puligny-Montrachet.
After more than five years of bottle aging, the fruit, acidity, and minerality that were in explosive balance immediately after bottling are now beautifully integrated, yet the tension remains unusually high. In a typical wine tasting, we don't think this would be identified as a Burgundy Chardonnay. This nature is the same as in 2017, but 2018 is richer and bigger than 2017.

In 2018, the yield was sufficient, allowing for the production of Puligny-Montrachet solely from the Lieu-dit "Voitte." The label also indicates Voitte. (In years with insufficient yield, it is blended with wines from other Lieu-dits and labeled simply as Puligny-Montrachet.)
Voitte is classified as a village appellation but is a hidden treasure vineyard located near Les Pucelles and Clavaillon. While Premier Cru wines are valued for their intricacy and delicate expression, Voitte excels in fruit richness and concentration. Given that this is a 2018 vintage crafted by Frederic Cossard, expectations are high, but those expectations will not be disappointed. Cossard's white wines are difficult to estimate the peak drinking window, but enjoying a bottle now is not a bad idea.

Les Blanderies 2021: 100% Chenin Blanc, released in 2024, with a production of 1,305 bottles. This time, we received La Lune 2022, Rosé d'un Jour 2023, and Les Blanderies 2021. Regarding La Lune, there was not much difference compared to the previous vintage from 2021, which was already produced under Martial's initiative, although the weather conditions were different between 2021 and 2022. However, Les Blanderies left a significantly different impression than the 2020 vintage. It may have been just that particular day, but its softness and delicacy combined with a pleasant lightness that felt airy, made it seem more vibrant than the 2020 version. We thought that allowing it to acclimate to the environment here for a few more months might help it focus better.
"Les Blanderies are younger vines planted just below VV, terroir is slightly different. It is still clay but the rocks here are phtanites. Phtanites contribute significant natural citric acid to the grapes. In the 90s, my father had to prove to the administration through analysis that he did not add citric acid to this wine; it is all natural thanks to this special terroir" by Martial Angéli.

The wine is made from extremely old Vieilles Vignes, with some vines over 60 years old and others reaching 90 years old. The small 0.22ha parcel produces an extremely refined expression of fruit flavors, with high density, richness, and a well-structured backbone of a noble acidity and minerality. This wine is approaching its optimal drinking window, but it still has room for further aging and development.

This wine is made from grapes from Côtes du Rhône: a blend of Bouboulenc, Grenache Blanc, and Muscat d'Alexandria. It undergoes maceration-carbonic using special tank equipment for 14 months. Fred (Frédéric) named this wine 'Zizifredo' from the name of an old aperitif called 'Fred-Zizi.'
Zizifredo showcases beautiful acidity, with a rough integration of juice and the astringency of tannins from skin contact, along with a pronounced yeasty flavor, all wrapped up in an overall refreshing sensation. This level of quality requires exceptional sensibility to produce. While skin-contact orange wines are now abundant worldwide, Frédéric Cossard demonstrates his exceptional skill even in creating such a casual wine.
