Soil: clay and limestone. Fermentation: 16 months with wild yeast. Aging: 12 months in a 4hL stoneware tank (jar), 6 months in a stainless steel tank.

The harvest date was September 27, 2021. The grape yield was 15hL/ha. The vineyard is owned by the same owner as the red Savigny-lès-Beaune "Les Gollardes." This year, the vineyard suffered hail damage, resulting in only 4hL of grapes being harvested from the 20a vineyard, so we were given all of the grapes as a special gift. The vineyard is located southeast, just 200m below Les Gollardes. Stoneware tanks (jars) are used to bring out the pure flavor.

The wine has a clear golden color and aromas of yellow peach, papaya, acacia, and musk. The wine is fruity and structured, with a rich, nectar-like extract that blends with minerality and a well-structured acidity to create a tight, lingering finish.

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.
