Domaine de Chassorney Pommard 1er Cru Les Pézerolles 2022, which was remarkably good. This is also unusually seductive wine for the Pommard, completely different from the typical descriptions found in wine books (having a tannic and robust structure and taking time to reach its drinking peak...). Perhaps the 2022 vintage suits the characteristics of this appellation well. It has a thick, soft, and glossy texture. The tannins are certainly abundant but sweetly ripe. The aromas and flavors are complex yet harmoniously integrated. The terroir's characteristics and the vintage's personality are gently refined by Aurélien Verdet’s exceptional skill. It is delicious to drink now and clearly will improve with aging. This is a wine that should be placed at the high on the shopping list right away.
The wine produced from Pinot Noir vines over 80 years old, planted in clay soils, is dense and smooth. The vineyard is located near the border with Beaune, on the mid-slope.

Le Ronceret is a lieu-dit bordering En Champans. This Le Ronceret is located to the north of the other Chassorney's Volnay 1er Cru, Les Lurets, with Les Aussy (also a 1er Cru) lying between them. Although their elevations are almost the same, the character of the wines produced differs. The wine produced from Vieilles Vignes over 70 years old planted on 0.29 ha tiny plot is highly concentrated and rich in tannins. It has a fine texture with a refined and robust structure. Over a few years, its density will increase and its edges will soften, resulting in an exceptionally thick and silky wine of the highest quality, we believe.
Like Saint Romain Sous Roche, it undergoes 100% whole-cluster fermentation with semi-carbonic maceration in a stainless steel tank. Unlike Frédéric Cossard, the aging process has been changed from egg tanks and qvevris (used from 2018 to 2021) back to old barrels. It has become a supreme, authentic Burgundy, combining intensity and softness.

The lieu-dit Les Lurets consists of both 1er Cru and Village-designated parts, and this wine is produced from the 1er Cru section. It borders the 1er Cru Les Cailleret and is located south of Chassorney’s other 1er Cru, Le Ronceret, with Les Aussy (also a 1er Cru) lying between them. Although its elevation is almost the same as Le Ronceret’s, the character of the wine differs. The wine has a fine, silky texture and is softer and more transparent than Le Ronceret. It is enjoyable to drink now, but with a few years of aging, it is expected to develop a more airy character while retaining a dense core. The grapes come from a small plot of less than 0.3 hectares planted with 65-year-old vieille vigne.

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.

The Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Damodes, born from old vines averaging over 60 years of age, planted on 0.3 hectares, has long been crafted by Frédéric Cossard. The lieu-dit Les Damodes is adjacent to Aux Boudots and lies on the border with Vosne-Romanée, very close to the golden zone that stretches from Aux Malconsorts to La Tâche. The lieu-dit is composed of both 1er Cru and Village classifications. The vinification and aging carried out in egg-shaped concrete tanks have brought out the pure fruit flavors and the delicate expression of the terroir with even greater clarity. Like Vosne-Romanée and Morey-Saint-Denis, it is a popular label forming part of Frédéric Cossard’s Côte de Nuits red wine series.

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.
