Note di degustazione
(Rossignol always destems this wine, which is made from soil featuring a lot of small stones): Healthy dark red. Restrained but pure scents of blueberry, blackberry and spices, lifted by violet. Tightly wound and verging on austere, but showing the density and sweetness of the vintage. This very primary, thick Beaune wine conveys complex soil tones without going leathery. Not an early charmer but spreads out impressively to saturate the palate and has the balance and energy for a slow development in bottle. At this point in our tasting, Rossignol again noted that relatively few '16s will have the long aging potential of the '15s.

Cask sample. Cherry, marzipan, almond – surprisingly differentiated flavours – really engaging and intriguing. There's possibly something a bit oxidative here. Esoteric yet recognisably Burgundian. (RH)
The 2015 Beaune 1er Cru Les Reversées is 100% de-stemmed, because the soil is more chalky and stony compared to say Thomas Bouley's, which is more clayey. It has a neatly composed, well-defined bouquet with plenty of dark berry fruit blossoming with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with fine tannin, very well-judged acidity and a sense of symmetry on the energetic and tensile finish. This is an excellent wine from Nicolas Rossignol.
(100% destemmed): Healthy dark red. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, licorice and menthol are almost liqueur-like in their ripeness but display lovely rocky lift. Very ripe but juicy and fine-grained, conveying a creamy small-berry quality to its very dark flavors. Finishes very long, with refined tannins for a wine from this rocky vineyard. Just this side of exotic but the mineral character enlivens the wine.
