Domaine Jean-Marc Pavelot Beaune Les Bressandes 1er Cru 2011

The 2011 Beaune 1er Cru Les Bressandes comes from a single parcel of around 0.38-hectares populated with around 20-year-old vines. It has a more voluminous bouquet than the 2011 Les Preuillets with raspberry, dark plum and subtle undergrowth scents. There is great tension here, abundant freshness and poise. There is good volume in the mouth as it fans out with rounded, lithe red berry fruit that seem natural and delineated. This should age with style over the next decade. Drink now-2023. Score - 91.
