When old becomes new again.

Ever the Burgundian natural wine legend, Freddy Cossard sourced some 40 year-old Pinot Noir vines from a lieu-dit in Gevrey and then experimented by pressing them off and aging them in Georgian Qvevris. For those unaware, Frederic Cossard is a natural wine icon in Burgundy, and after trying Les Genevrieres Qvevris, you’ll know why. Minimalist purity of fruit, with just a little kiss of spice.

Though Frederic Cossard’s lifelong dream was making wine, he followed his father’s wishes and worked in the dairy industry for several years prior to becoming a vigneron.
Eventually, Frederic carved his own path and purchased some hectares within Saint-Romain and Auxey-Duresses so he could realize his childhood dream.
In 1997, Frederic Cossard’s first vintage was bottled.
Qvevris are large, round clay pots that are buried in the ground and used for aging wine; this ancient technique originates from Georgia.
