The Producer: Frederic Cossard • Domaine de Chassorney
Frederic Cossard is a flesh and blood natural wine legend from Burgundy, giving birth to wines of truly unique vibrancy, unmistakable personality, and just plain juicy goodness. Having started in 1996, he farms about 6 hectares, a good portion of which are rented, near the village of Saint Romain.
Inspired by memories of wines made by his grandfather for family consumption and strong of his background as a wine broker, Frederic started making natural wine at a time when it was considered almost heresy and oak-laden fruit bombs weighted down by chemical farming and additives were the standard. In order to give voice to the grape and his unique terroir, he uses very long 5-6 weeks maceration and malolactic fermentation takes place when the must is still on the skins.
No SO2 is ever employed, and Frederic even avoids using it when cleaning the barrels, preferring ozone to it. These are true wines of place, passion, and inspiration. In 2006 he started his negoce venture, where he works with diverse organic varieties from different terroirs of France.

What is Natural Wine?
Natural winemaking has become a movement akin to a revolution, a nemesis to the industrialization and homogenization of wine in the past three decades. Natural wine producers are at the forefront of this movement, rejecting industrial winemaking techniques and the excessive use of pesticides, fungicides, herbicides or fertilizers in the vineyard. Perhaps even more importantly, natural wine should be seen as an agricultural product where farming is and essential part. Farming conditions, labor rights, sustainability, and ethical practises across the supply chain are now at the center of the discourse on natural wine.
Why Should I Try Natural Wine?
Natural wine is probably the most fascinating wine on the market. Discovering natural wines is made even more exciting by the fact that each vintage is different and has a different flavor. The non-interventionist, hands-off winemaking approach, along with organic and biodynamic best practices in the vineyards, gives wines of unique character.

Natural Wine
Natural wine is a type of wine made in small batches from hand-harvested organic or biodynamic grapes with minimal intervention in the cellar. No industrial yeast is added to trigger fermentation or add a particular flavor to a natural wine; the fermentation process is not controlled with temperature-control devices. Read More...
Biodynamic Wine
Biodynamic wine is wine made with grapes farmed biodynamically. Biodynamic farming is a holistic approach to farming, which conceives the farm as a living organism and is based on anthroposophy, a philosophy founded in the early 1920s by the Austrian philosopher and scientist Dr. Rudolf Steiner.

Organic Wine
Organic wine is wine made with grapes farmed organically - in the United States, no added sulfites are allowed. Organic farming is a type of farming alternative to conventional farming and similar to biodynamic farming, which focuses on sustainability. Organic farmers don’t use fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, etc. Read More...
Vegan Wine
Vegan wine is wine made without using animal products during the fining phase of the clarification process. Before wine is bottled it is usually clarified and filtered in order to separate and remove solid matter from liquid matter. This can be achieved using fining agents derived from animals, such as egg whites and casein. Read More...
Low-sulfites Wine
Low-sulfites wine is a type of wine with a lower sulfur dioxide content than conventionally made wines, where little or no sulfur dioxide is added to the wine. This does not mean that the wine is without sulfites. During fermentation a small quantity of sulfur dioxide is released into the wine as a form of natural preservative. Read More...
