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.

[JEAN-PIERRE MOUEIX Vineyards]
Produced in very limited quantities, Annonce enjoys the same attention as the Grand Vin. A significant portion of Annonce is produced from younger vines, which are part of a replanting program initiated after the Moueix family acquired the estate in 2008. This strategy aims to improve vineyard yield and quality over time as these younger vines mature. It won't be long before the first label "Château Bélair-Monange" is produced from the same vines. Thus, drinking the current Annonce is like drinking the future Château Bélair-Monange. You already understand, of course, that in French, "Annonce" means "announcement" in English, and it also signifies 'sign' or 'omen'. The label depicts an angel as a messenger conveying a bright future for these young vines.

Les Damodes is located on the border with Vosne-Romanée. Over 55 years Vieilles Vignes from 0.3ha small parcel in Les Damodes. Four weeks maceration in wood tank, and four weeks for fermentation by wild yeast. 2018 has a different character compared to 2017, showcasing a striking contrast. It features a warm, rounded, and thick texture with a rich extract. Perhaps due to its location, there are also elements reminiscent of VR, but the unique earthiness distinctly marks it as NSG. Les Damodes consists of areas classified as Village and Premier Cru, but this is classified as Village. However, once tasted, it becomes clear that the quality consistently surpasses that of most other producers' Premier Cru wines.

Following 2018, this is the second production of Mercurey. This time, it is made using Qvevris. When we first tasted the Qvevris wine by Frédéric Cossard immediately after its release (debut was the 2018 vintage), we were bewildered by its extremely unique flavor. However, after observing the maturation process over the years, we have begun to understand Cossard's intentions and the direction in which the wine is heading. It goes without saying that 2019 possesses completely different vintage characteristics compared to the 2018 (which is also controversial), so we highly recommend experiencing both.
