Brisk and taut incisive entry supports effusive white flower and stone fruit flavor nuances. The finish is sleek and long with saline grace notes.

This is similar to the villages though here there is a notable addition of a petrol component. There is both better richness and volume to the medium-bodied flavors that brim with sappy dry extract while delivering slightly better depth and persistence on the citrusy finish that also has a slightly tannic edginess to it.
Vinous: 90 Points
The 2020 Beaune Bressandes Blanc 1er Cru has a nicely-detailed bouquet, apple blossom intermingling with Clementine and nectarine, an underlying crushed stone element surfacing with time. The palate is well balanced with a succulent entry, quite a "juicy" Bressandes with Clementine and light fig notes towards the finish. Spicy on the aftertaste, this will be just a very enjoyable Beaune Bressandes.
Wine Spectator
The 2020 Beaune 1er Cru Bressandes Blanc (Domaine Gagey), from a parcel at the top of the slope just below Faiveley's Clos de l'Écu, is another notable success this year. Mingling aromas of citrus zest and clear honey with hints of hazelnuts and fresh pastry, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, with a chiseled profile and a long, mineral finish.
