The 2018 Beaune 1er Cru Bressandes (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot) reveals aromas of cherries, blackberries and loamy soil. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with lively acids and good depth at the core. This cuvée has turned out very well, communicating all the inherent generosity of the vintage.

Notes of sweet red berries and plums mingling with notions of spicy forest floor and licorice introduce the 2017 Beaune 1er Cru Bressandes (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot), a medium-bodied, succulent wine with an open-knit profile and a sapid finish. This will drink well in its youth.

The 2016 Beaune 1er Cru Bressandes probably did not quite deliver the precision and detail of its stablemates, Les Grèves and Les Theurons, although there is plenty of earthy black fruit in situ. The palate is medium-bodied with a fleshy opening and good body but like the nose, it is missing some detail on the stocky, broad-shouldered finish.

The 2015 Beaune 1er Cru Bressandes has a satisfying density and cohesion on the nose, a mixture of red and black fruit with just a slight reductive tinniness that will go before bottling. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. This Bressandes has plenty of rondeur, a fine line of acidity with a slightly broody finish that should open up (eventually). This is a very capable Bressandes.

The 2014 Beaune 1Er Cru les Bressandes has a perfumed bouquet with crushed strawberry and raspberry fruit, just a hint of tinned peach in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. There is good density here, nicely structured with impressive precision despite its broad shouldered nature. Recommended.
