Domaine Des Croix Beaune 1er Cru Les Bressandes 2023 750ml
Domaine des Croix Beaune 1er Cru “Les Bressandes” 2023 is an elegant red Burgundy crafted by winemaker David Croix in the renowned Côte de Beaune. From a prized Premier Cru vineyard on the northern slopes of Beaune, the wine reflects an east-facing site at approximately 250–300 metres above sea level. The stony, clay-rich soils with iron oxides contribute mineral complexity and structure. Made from Pinot Noir, the 2023 vintage balances fresh red and dark fruit with floral aromas, refined tannins, and a lively mineral character. Its combination of concentration, freshness, and fine texture makes it an excellent expression of Beaune’s Premier Cru terroir, with the structure to develop further in bottle.
