Tasting notes
The 2017 Beaune 1er Cru Bressandes is lovely, wafting from the glass with a pretty bouquet of rose petals, dried flowers, warm spices and sweet red berry fruit. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and succulent, with satiny—even melting—tannins that elegantly frame its lavish core of fruit. This is a supple, gourmand Beaune that will offer a broad drinking window. This gets my nod as Croix's finest Beaune in 2017.

The 2017 Beaune Les Bressandes 1er Cru, matured in two new barrels out of a total of 16, has a deep, broody nose. It seems like there is some whole bunches in the blend, but David Croix assured me that there is nary a stem. The medium-bodied palate delivers vibrant red fruit laced with orange peel and quince. There is impressive structure here. A little deeper and more angular than the Beaune Grèves, but with good density on the finish. Excellent.
