Château La Croix Cantenac

Domaine des Croix (David Croix)

Les Bressandes Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2019

For me, David Croix, without a doubt, crafts the most compelling wines from Beaune, and this 19’ Bressandes was certainly exemplary. I absolutely loved it. It wasn’t bombastic and I reckon could easily be overlooked in a blind, but it embodied everything I love about red Burgundy in its most classic form. Not indulgent, fresh, fine, and refreshingly pure, with not a trace of overripe sucrosity to distract from its understated beauty.

The nose unfurled with cool, fresh fruits - a lively mélange of black and red berries layered with subtle bunchy aromas. Delicate florals weave through, underscored by the quiet intrigue of black tea and the chalky minerality that only air revealed. On the palate, it was all substance without weight, medium-bodied yet vibrant, its energy carried by a bright acidity that invigorated the senses. Spices and dried herbs unfolded gently in the mid-palate, giving way to a finish of fine, resonant salinity. What a beaut!

A beautiful Bordeaux blend from the Margaux Appalachian. Flowing with flavor of black cherry and anise. This wine has a distinct presence.
