'Feel Good' Frederic Cossard 2022

Frederic Cossard's 'Feel Good' is a Savagnin with a vibrant personality, the result of a genuine agronomic and oenological approach. The son of a farmer, Frédéric Cossard embarked on his own winemaking project in 1996 after working for several years in the wine trade. He started out with a few vineyards in Burgundy, between the communes of Saint-Romain and Auxey-Duresses, expanding over the following years to become Domaine de Chassorney. Alongside his work in the Côte d'Or, Frédéric then vinifies grapes from other territories purchased from trusted winegrowers, often friends, who share the same sustainable approach.

The Frédéric Cossard 'Feel Good' is made from pure Savagnin grapes from a single 50-year-old vineyard located in the commune of Saint-Agnès in Jura. The vineyard, conducted in accordance with the principles of organic farming, is planted on marl soil. Harvesting is done by hand and the grapes are then vinified in Frédéric's cellar in Saint-Romain, first with gentle whole cluster pressing and then with spontaneous alcoholic fermentation of the must. Maturation lasts about 12 months and takes place in cement eggs, excluding the use of invasive clarification and filtration operations and even renouncing the addition of sulphur dioxide.

In the glass, Frédéric Cossard's Savagnin 'Feel Good' shows an intense straw-yellow hue. The energetic bouquet is defined by hints of citrus, white-fleshed fruit and wild flowers, enhanced by spicy nuances and a strong mineral tone. The palate confirms the tension perceived on the nose, with the marked freshness and incisive sapid-mineral verve supporting the overall structure and contributing to the long persistence on the finish.
