(The following is from the importer's information) Soil: Clay and limestone. Maceration: Semi-maceration carbonic wooden tank for 21 days. Fermentation: 2 months with wild yeast. Aging: 12 months in 17hL egg-shaped cement tank.
The wines were then aged in stainless steel tanks for three months. The harvest took place on September 4th and 5th, 2020. The yield was 40hL/ha! Sault Roches is the name of the plot, and as the name suggests, a thick layer of limestone continues just below the thin topsoil. The vineyard area is 1.2 ha. Egg-shaped cement tanks are used to bring out the pure flavor!

The aroma of ripe dark cherry fruit is complemented by oriental spices such as cloves and nutmeg. The wine is rich and structured, with a rich, concentrated fruit flavor. <br>The taste is gently tightened by cute acidity, refined minerality, and the astringent taste of slightly bitter tannins!

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.
