Beaune 1er Cru "LES BRESSANDES"

General
Grape Variety : Pinot Noir
Region           : France/Burgundy

Winemaking
The wines are barrelled for 15 to 20 months, according to vintage, in oak casks, of
which 20 to 40 % are new, with a variety of origins of wood : Tronçais, Nevers,
Vosges, Burgundy.  Whilst the wine is maturing, it is regularly stirred up (bâtonné),
putting the lees back into suspension, bringing more fatness and roundness. Racking
takes place prior to bottling, with no fining, just light filtration, preserving the natural
riches of the appellation.

Tasting Notes
It has a very deep ruby-red colour. The nose is fresh and still young, it is delicately
aromatic with red fruit cream and spices including pepper. On the palate, it has plenty
of volume and spirit with a fine tannic body and discreet new oak.

Food Pairing
It will accompany finely prepared red meats of quality and mild tasting game, joint of
boar, also mild cheeses. Serve at 17°C.
