Soil: Clay and limestone. Fermentation: 8 months with natural yeast. Aging: 11 months in 7hL egg-shaped cement tanks, 4 months in stainless steel tanks.

The harvest date was September 23, 2021. The grape yield was 30hL/ha. The Haut Croix Rouge vineyard is the second smallest in the commune of New Saint-Georges, measuring just 1ha. Fred was motivated to brew this wine because it is rare for New Saint-Georges to produce white wine from such a small plot. Egg-shaped cement tanks are used to bring out the pure flavor.

The wine has a clear golden color and aromas of pomelo, pear, mandarin orange, and kelp. The wine is pure and clear, packed with a rich umami flavor like dashi, and the refined, long-lasting acidity and dense, chalky minerality create an elegant structure.

Frederic Cossard

The current owner, Frédéric Cossard, launched Domaine de Chassolnay in 1996.
Frederic grew up in a family of dairy farmers with no connection to wine at the time, and under the influence of his strict father, he studied milk fermentation at ENIL (National School of Dairy Industry) in order to take over the family business. After graduating from school, he was forced to travel to the United States on his father's orders to train at a dairy company near Boston for two years, but he faded out after three weeks. After that, he decided not to take over the family business, so he left his father's care and jumped straight into the world of wine, which he had always been interested in. At the age of 23, he studied wine at the winemaking schools of Beaune and Savoie and started working for Cloutier with minimal investment. Frédéric Cossard With no prior knowledge, he started knocking on the doors of Burgundy with just paper, pencil, phone, and car, and gradually gained the trust of his customers by persistently negotiating wine deals. Along the way, he worked as a cloutier for 10 years, working as a wine blender at a négociant in Nuits-Saint-Georges. During that time, he said, ``I drank all the wine in Burgundy,'' and decided to start a domaine in order to create his own ideal wine. In 1996, he launched his long-awaited domaine with his mother-in-law (at the time). In 2005, they built a new winery, and the following year they started Négociant Frédéric Cossard, which continues to this day.
