The color is a slightly cloudy pale lemon yellow.
Aromas of grapefruit, lily of the valley and tar.
The wine is sharp and crisp, with a pure, salty extract that is tightly held together by sharp lime-like acidity and a pleasant citrus bitterness.

The harvest date was September 17th. The yield was 45hL/ha.
The grapes are purchased from a farm in northern Alsace that has been producing biodynamically for 25 years.
The vineyard is a Grand Cru Bruderthal, said to have been first developed by Cistercian monks in the village of Molsheim!
Due to AOC regulations, the wine's name cannot be written as Riesling on the label, so it was named after the similar Danish word Rafling (which in English means Raffling: a lottery using dice).

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 at his father's behest for a two-year internship at a dairy company near Boston, 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 information, he began knocking on the doors of Burgundy with just paper, pencil, telephone, 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 while being in charge of wine blending 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 Negociant Frédéric Cossard, which continues to this day.
