Domaine des CROIX Beaune 1er Cru \”Les Bressandes\” 2022

Wine Region: Burgundy – France

Grape: Pinot Noir

Tasting notes: The 2022 Beaune 1er Cru Bressandes is pure and ethereal, wafting from the glass with scents of raspberries, rose petals, spices, blood orange and raw cocoa. Medium to full-bodied, ample and suave, with lively acids, melting tannins and a saline finish, it\’s a lovely rendition of this first-rate hillside terroir.– William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

About the Winery:
David Croix\’s well-deserved reputation as one of the leading talents among his generation in the Cte de Beaune is founded on hard work in the vineyards, something I regularly witness in the Beaune premiers crus where I have the good fortune to have him as a neighbor. Soils are cultivated mechanically or by animal traction; canopies are hedged late and high or managed by \”tressage\” without cutting their apical shoots; harvesting privileges full physiological maturity; and in the winery, winemaking is classical, often retaining some stems, followed by levage in barrels and, for some cuves, foudres.
