Level

AOC Premier Cru

Grape variety

Pinot noir

Beaune is the historic capital of Burgundy wines and its town centre has been the site of the headquarters of the House of Albert Bichot for over a century now.
In addition to capturing the attention of the entire world on the 3rd Sunday of every November when it hosts the legendary Hospices de Beaune wine auction, it is also one of the largest appellations in surface area in the Côte de Beaune. Though less well known than its illustrious neighbours, this appellation nevertheless offers many terroirs of great interest for their balance and diversity.
"Les Bressandes" is a Premier Cru located north of Beaune. Its name either refers to the Canon of Beaune, Jean Bressand, who owned vineyards or to the presence of brushwood ("broussailles") in the area.
Our plot, which faces south-east, lies on a moderate slope.
