The color is a slightly cloudy amber-orange. Scents of orange, osmanthus, and Fukujinzuke. The wine is mellow and fruity, with citrus extracts like orange, cute acid, slight bitterness, and fine tannins like black tea blending in to gently tighten the aftertaste!

The harvest date is October 12th, and the yield is 30hL/ha! The grapes are purchased from a producer with 25 years of biodynamic experience in northern Alsace! The same Grand Cru grapes used in Ruffling's direct press are used for maceration! Since this year, the grapes have been grown naturally. Trial use of Aldea Seal's bioplastic cork, which is expected to be an alternative to cork! Skin Contact is a special cuvée that Fred is particular about brewing in his own way to bring out the full flavor of 100% grapes!

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.
