A brilliant wine

and perhaps a little warmth from one’s hands a glorious bouquet of dry

nutty nose expanding with time in the glass

a grand house and a magnificent pedigree

black cherry and bilberry fruits penned in by muscular but welcoming tannins

2017 Beaune, Les Bressandes, 1er Cru, Domaine des Croix, Burgundy UOM A brilliant wineThis wine is a bin end, discounted by 20%. Excludes BBX stock. This is a speical site, at 300 metres altitude and on a 20 percent gradient, facing east. The nose has lifted cranberry fruit and a wild edge. The palate has a vibrant energy, lots of rocky limestone tannins and bright, fresh raspberry fruit. A purists wine, in the best possible sense. Drink 2022 2028. David is delighted that he finally has a good crop for the first time in many years.
