B227 FREDERIC COSSARD CHAMBOLLE MUSIGNY LES HERBUES 2022 750ml

Frédéric Cossard sometimes presents highly individual interpretations of grape varieties and terroirs in his VdF series that go beyond conventional understanding. In appellations such as Vosne-Romanée and Chambolle-Musigny, however, he produces classic wines that remain faithful to the character of the terroir and bring out its uniqueness to the fullest. (Even here, he uses egg-shaped cement tanks for élevage, of course to avoid masking the flavour of Pinot Noir with oak. This point differs from the traditional methods of Burgundy wine making.)

This Chambolle-Musigny 2022, in contrast to the extremely delicate 2021, shows richer, rounder fruit and a brighter overall impression on the palate. Both vintages express the typical character of Chambolle-Musigny, each through the lens of its own vintage personality.

Frédéric Cossard’s red wines are generally easy to enjoy from a young stage, and this Chambolle-Musigny is no exception. Both the 2021 and 2022 vintages are already approachable now. One thing to keep in mind, however, is that this Chambolle-Musigny is capricious: its taste can vary greatly from one day to the next. If you take care to bring the wine into good condition, choose an appropriate glass, and the roulette wheel stops on your number, it will offer an exceptional wine experience.
