NATURAL WINES BY FRÉDÉRIC COSSARD
Frédéric Cossard trained in the dairy industry and worked as a wine broker before starting out in 1996 with rented plots in Saint-Romain and Auxey-Duresses. That became Domaine de Chassorney. In 2006 he and his wife Laure added a négoce, buying from long-standing growers in the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune and the Jura. Their own vines are bottled as Chassorney, bought-in grapes as Frédéric Cossard. In 2022 Chassorney passed to Aurélien Verdet.
Cossard is known for whole-bunch reds, concrete eggs and, since a 2017 trip to Georgia, buried qvevri used for ageing. Many cuvées have no added sulphur, and the best age brilliantly. For something affordable, try Super Pink, a playful Cinsault rosé, or the Feel Good and Zizifredo skin-contact wines. For serious Burgundy, look at Saint-Romain 'Sous Roche' and 'Combe Bazin', Volnay and Bedeau.
