[A785] DOMAINE DE CHASSORNEY (FREDERIC COSSARD) VOLNAY 1ER CRU LES LURETS 2020 750ml

This is a precious bottle of Domaine de Chassorney from the legendary Frédéric Cossard era. The two Volnay Premier Crus represent the absolute crown jewels of the domaine’s portfolio.

As expected, long-term cellaring has enhanced the wine's density and richness. It has transformed into an utterly gorgeous wine, now displaying a finer, smoother, and more seamless texture.

The lieu-dit Les Lurets consists of both 1er Cru and Village-designated parts, and this wine is produced from the 1er Cru section. It borders the 1er Cru Les Cailleret and is located south of Chassorney’s other 1er Cru, Le Ronceret, with Les Aussy (also a 1er Cru) lying between them. Although its elevation is almost the same as Le Ronceret’s, the character of the wine differs. The wine has a fine, silky texture and is softer and more transparent than Le Ronceret. The grapes come from a small plot of less than 0.3 hectares planted with 65-year-old vieille vigne.

The 2020 vintage beautifully combines a centered, focused energy with an outward, expanding softness, achieving a masterful sense of unity. Compelling wines possess this kind of magic—effortlessly balancing contrasting elements without ever falling apart. This vintage perfectly expresses the fluid, seamless softness of Les Lurets.
