The 2012 Beaune 1er Cru Bressandes has perhaps the purest bouquet of Chanson’s premier crus this year with lifted, perfumed cassis, blackberry and violets scents, and underlying mineralite that should be enhanced with bottle age. The palate is sweet and supple on the entry, fleshy and generous with lush red berry fruit, fine tannins and a sense of assuredness on the finish. Drink now-2024.
