92 points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate
A lovely wine from this stony hillside site, the 2022 Beaune 1er Cru Bressandes offers up aromas of red berries, cassis bud and peonies, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and lively palate built around powdery tannins and concluding with a saline, mineral finish.
90 points, Allen Meadows, Burghound
Here the ripe nose is more deeply pitched with its combination of both plum and red cherry compote where a pretty floral top note can be found. The sleek, detailed and delicious medium-bodied flavors flash focused power on the balanced and lingering finish. Once again, more depth would be helpful but the underlying material appears to be present for that to occur. Drink: 2030+
As the Premier & Grand Cru shortages hit home I asked a revered Western Australian Burgundian fanatic if he had any recommendations as to more potential White Burgundy suppliers. He answered immediately “Rapet Pere & Fils”. I had also asked two of my friends in Burgundy for recommendations of quality Domaines that did not have representation in Australia. Both checked with their friends and one came back offering Morey Coffinet & … Rapet Pere & Fils.
