2008 Beaune, Bressandes, 1er Cru, Domaine des Croix

There is real heart to this wine with an attractive spiciness on top of the fruit. Quite tight in 2008, this will need a couple of years for the fruit to open out.

Quite solid with lovely pure fruit freshness. Lots of chew on the end. Needs a little aeration but this should be very easy and pleasant in the end.
