Fédéric Cossard, Poulsard "Ploussard" Vin de France 2022

100% organic and biodynamic Ploussard from old vines in both Sainte-Agnès and Arbois. Unlike most in the region, Cossard ferments the grapes as whole bunches and after a week of maceration, the wine is pressed off to concrete eggs for a short élevage. Achingly pure, reflecting the vintage this is fruit forward and fragrant with blood orange and exotic spice.

Frederic Cossard is a larger than life character with a love of the good life. This legendary producer manages to make thrilling, vibrant Burgundies in a region where oak and sulphur can dominate without sacrificing precision nor detail.

The result is a slightly darker, deeper expression of the grape that is heady with spice.
