Palate
The red wines from the central and southern parts are powerful, tannic, and deeply
coloured. Those from the northern area are generally less intensely coloured with
softer fruit fl avours.
Beaune 1er Cru « Bressandes » is situated between « Grèves » and « Cent Vignes », in
the North part.
Vinification
The grapes bear small little dark red berries. The bunches are destemmed; they
macerate in open vats during 4 weeks helping this subtle terroir to reveal itself. After
devatting, the wines are aged in oak barrels during 18 months.
Cellaring Potential
10 years and more, even 15-20 years.
Region Notes
Beaune vineyards are the most extensive of the Côte de Beaune, between Savigny to
the North, and Pommard to the South. There are no Grand Cru vineyards in this
commune, but 36 Premiers Crus.
