Les Bressandes is positioned on the northern end of the appellation on a steep—vines were planted between 1960-1965. Germain's parcel comprises 1.25 hectares.
The Beaune-Bressandes 1er Cru will likely have an expressive, layered nose. Expect aromas of ripe red berries like cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, along with hints of violet and perhaps a touch of earthiness or spice. There may also be subtle notes of oak, including hints of vanilla or smoke, as the wine is typically aged in French oak barrels. The nose will be vibrant, yet with an underlying complexity that suggests a wine capable of aging.
The finish will likely be elegant and persistent, with fine-grained tannins and a subtle minerality that lingers, highlighting the quality of the vineyard and the winemaking process.
