Albert Morot Beaune 1er Cru Les Bressandes 2021 [BH 93]

Tasting note Burghound:

 This is also a ripe 2021 with its aromas of kirsch, plum liqueur and newly turned earth. Like the Marconnets, I love the gorgeous mouthfeel of the almost opulent, intense and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the balanced and impressively persistent finish. This too could use more depth but the highly attractive mouthfeel should make this appealing young while it's aging. Lovely. (BH 93).

This 1.27-hectare plot (3 acres) is located in the middle of the slope with a south-easterly exposure. Its soil enjoys a good balance of limestone, loams and clay.

The plot may be named for a previous owner – a 13th-century canon, Johannis Bressand. The Aloxe-Corton Les Bressandes Climat is thought to have belonged to three elderly spinsters originally from Bresse.

In the mouth, these very subtle wines present a dense, bold body and beautiful silkiness.

They go well with roast meat, some fish (roast monkfish with bacon, etc), and some cheeses (eg Cîteaux, Saint Nectaire, Reblochon).
