This is another site that shares its name with a vineyard elsewhere—in this case, Corton’s Bressandes Grand Cru. Both sites are named after the historic landholder of these vineyards, Jean Bressand, a 13th-century Canon of Beaune. High on the slopes above Beaune, Beaune Bressandes isn’t too far from Corton either. Germain has mature vines here, planted between 1960 and 1965, in a parcel high on the slope, right next to David Croix’s vines. It’s the deepest wine in the range, yet remains true to the ‘new’ style here, being a tightly wound, sappy wine of great finesse. A fabulous example of Beaune.

Reviews

“The 2022 Beaune 1er Cru Les Bressandes is very pretty, exhibiting aromas of orange zest, raspberries, rose petals and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and supple palate that's fine-boned and mineral.
91-92 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
“Slightly less dense in colour than some, and correspondingly a little more open, a little fresher in fruit on the nose. Plenty of body here, but the energy of the raspberry fruit shows a class over and above the other Germain reds. Excellent fruit acid balance, and very good persistence.”
90-93 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
