Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Beaune is particularly unusual among vineyards: of its 988 acres in production, more than 741 acres are premier cru-rated. The appellation is divided into two sections – North and South – separated by a line following the road out of Beaune up towards Bouze-Lès-Beaune. Les Bressandes is located above Les Toussaints, Les Fèves and Les Cent-Vignes. This magnificent terroir has a full easterly exposure, and this parcel doggedly clings to a steep slope before petering out at the feet of the first houses of the 'mountain' of Beaune. The soil here is light and sandy.

A fairly deep robe, with garnet reflections. A discrete woodiness, with dark berry aromas. The framework is dense but constructed around silky tannins, lending this wine an exquisite elegance.

Professional Ratings

  • 90
    A firm, cherry- and mineral-flavored red, with a tightly wound structure and lacy texture. It gets bunched up on the finish, but has everything in the right proportion. Fine length. Best from 2012 through 2024. 127 cases imported.

Since 2002, Jean-Claude Boisset has been transformed by Mr. Boisset's son, Jean-Charles, from a traditional négociant into a viniculturaliste, a cross between a viticulturalist and a vinifier. The result is the Jean-Claude Boisset Collection of Wines - Burgundy through and through.

From one of the best young winemakers emerging in France, Grégory Patriat, each of the appellations is the result of rigorous selection and has been produced in limited quantities. This is the way of things in Burgundy... handcrafted in meticulous detail, according to a philosophy of "letting the vine do the work". A taste reveals our aim of striving for authentic wines in which human intervention has been kept to a bare, discreet minimum; the wines are concentrated, well-rounded, and–-of course--expressive of their terroirs.

Celebrated as some of the best wine in the universe, red wine from Burgundy, otherwise known as red Burgundy, is Pinot noir. In fact Burgundy is the birthplace of Pinot noir and the source of the planet’s most sensual, delicate, valuable and sought-after Pinot noir wines.

Understanding and enjoying red Burgundy can stay simple, with a basic knowledge of its subregions, become more intricate by dialing down to the villages and vineyards or become a life-long passion, exploring climats (plots of vines), vintages and the post French Revolution land ownership laws. In any case, a fine red Burgundy will display refined nuances of black currant, red fruit, earth, spice, alluring floral aromatics and have great elegance, complexity and longevity.

Most famous, praised and collected of Burgunday are those from the Côte d'Or. Hundreds of millions of years ago, the area now called Côte d'Or was under a warm ocean whose sea floor has, over time, shifted and decomposed into various layers of limestone, sandstone and clay interspersed with ancient fossilized sea creatures. This is what is referred to as the famous escarpment upon which all of the highly sought-after Grands Crus and Premiers Crus vineyards can be found. In other words, from north to south, the best vineyards of Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-St-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée, Flagey-Echezeaux, Nuits-St-Georges, Aloxe-Corton, Pommard and Volnay follow the path of this ancient sea bed.
