There is good verve and freshness to the mouth coating, intense and serious flavors that possess an abundance of dry extract that pushes the firm tannins to the background on the moderately complex and austere finish

FOR THE 2017 VINTAGE
Aromas of dark chocolate, blackberries, candied peel and rich soil tones introduce the 2017 Beaune 1er Cru Les Reversés, a medium to full-bodied wine with a generous core of fruit, tangy acids and fine, chalky tannins. The suppleness of its attack contrasts with its more tensile mid-palate and finish. This hails from a site at the foot of the Beaune hillside on the Pommard side. (90-92)

FOR THE 2016 VINTAGE
A cool, pure and once again ultra-fresh nose speaks of a layered mix of both red and dark cherry, earth and a whiff of lavender. There is excellent detail and vibrancy to the middle weight flavors that also culminate in a firm, youthfully austere and compact finale. This is really quite good and worth a look if you have at least a few years of patience. (90-92)

FOR THE 2017 VINTAGE
The 2017 Beaune Les Reversées 1er Cru comes from higher-limestone soils than those of Thomas Bouley’s more clay-rich parcel, which is why Nicolas Rossignol de-stems this wine, lest the acidity go through the roof. The bouquet is very precise and focused, offering dark cherry, wild strawberry and light chalky aromas. The elegant palate delivers more black than red fruit, revealing white pepper, Provençal herbs and a little spice toward the engaging finish. According to Rossignol, this is impossible to sell because of its appellation. It really shouldn’t be, given the quality. 91-93pts
