Cossard Combe Bazin 2020

Region: Burgundy, France

Varietal: Chardonnay

Notes: Frederic Cossard is one of the few natural winemakers in Burgundy which is a place that can be dominated by high prices and over manipulated wines. Domaine de Chassorney was started in 1996 and since Frederic didn't come from a line of vignerons he started everything from scratch, something I have a deep respect for. Chardonnay from estate fruit planted on steep slopes in Saint Romain with a deep bedrock of limestone. Powerful, vibrant and exploding with a deep chalky minerality this wine is is not your typical oaky chardonnay.
