About the Wine
From fifty year old vines of Pinot Noir planted in one of the steepest, shallowest parts of Saint Romain. True to site, even in a warmer vintage such as this, the wine is impressively bright and lifted, with notes of raspberry, earth and chalk framed by fine, supple tannins. A great example of just how good the wines can be from this terroir in one of the region’s unsung appellations.
About Domaine de Chassorney
Founded by Frédéric Cossard is 1996, Domaine de Chassorney started with just a few small parcels in Saint-Romain and Auxey-Duresses. Now, decades later, Aurélien Verdet took the reins at the Domaine from the 2022 vintage onwards, after several years of working alongside his friend and mentor, Fred. The Domaine now comprises ten hectares of vines spread across several villages in the Côte de Beaune.
Aurélien’s father was a pioneer of organic farming in Burgundy and so it comes as no surprise that he has continued Fred’s spirited work in the vines. Many of the parcels have now been farmed organically for several decades. Much like his mentor, Aurelien practises long, gentle infusions of whole bunches for Pinot Noir, whilst the whites are pressed directly to concrete eggs for élevage. Built on a backbone of pristine fruit, the resulting wines are elegant, classical expressions of Burgundy.
