Domaine des Croix Beaune 1er Cru Les Bressandes 2022 750ml
Domaine des Croix Beaune 1er Cru “Les Bressandes” 2022 is an expressive red Burgundy produced by winemaker David Croix in the prestigious Côte de Beaune. Sourced from a hillside Premier Cru vineyard with east-facing exposure and clay-limestone soils rich in iron oxides, this wine combines depth, precision, and elegant structure. The 2022 vintage reveals a layered profile of ripe red and dark berries, floral nuances, earthy undertones, and delicate spice. Its balanced acidity, refined tannins, and carefully integrated oak create a wine that is generous on the palate while retaining freshness and mineral complexity. Crafted primarily from Pinot Noir, it reflects the distinctive terroir and finesse associated with fine Beaune Premier Cru wines.
