The 2016 Beaune 1er Cru Les Bressandes was only slightly affected by the frost and yields came in at around 35 hectoliters per hectare. It has a tightly wound bouquet that demanded encouragement from the glass. I would be looking for a little more vigor once this is in bottle. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and a fine bead of acidity. Here there is more class: the character of the premier cru translated on the mineral-tinged finish, with a satisfying aftertaste. Hopefully, the aromatics will just find their voice once in bottle, so afford it a couple of years in bottle.
