Tasting notes
At the top of the Côte on limestone. Deep gold and creamy sweet – very 2019! Much richer than Le Clos Blanc 2020 served alongside. A little bit too ripe for my taste. (JR)

The 2019 Beaune 1er Cru Bressandes Blanc (Domaine Gagey) has turned out nicely, mingling notes of buttered orchard fruit, fresh pasty, white flowers and peach in an inviting bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and saline, it's a charming, elegantly textural white that will offer a broad drinking window.
The 2019 Beaune Bressandes Blanc 1er Cru felt rather subdued on the nose when I tasted it, lacking energy and joie-de-vivre compared to the preceding Savigny Blanc. The palate is slightly better, displaying modest depth and decent acidity, but it is missing some energy and feels rather "by the book" on the finish. An early drinker.
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
