B392 DOMAINE DE CHASSORNEY (AURELIEN VERDET) SAINT ROMAIN ROUGE SOUS ROCHE 2023 750ml

Frédéric Cossard established Domaine de Chassorney in 1996 and spent 15 years perfecting this 1.4-hectare vineyard, gradually increasing its precision and cultivating it into one of the finest in Burgundy. Aurélien Verdet’s second vintage since fully taking over the vineyard in 2022. The pure essence from old vines with an average age of 75 years is further amplified by the character of the 2023 vintage, resulting in a rich and powerful wine with remarkable transparency.

While Frédéric Cossard used egg tanks and qvevris (2018–2021) for élevage, Aurélien Verdet has switched back to barrels (mostly old barrels with a few new ones). A major difference from the Frédéric Cossard era is that the aging potential of the wine is easier to predict. Supported by high-quality concentrated juice, ripe tannins, and refined acidity, the 2023 vintage will likely age gracefully for at least 15 years.
