Eight percent whole bunch was used for the 2014 Beaune 1Er Cru les Reversées this year. It has a tightly wound, tertiary/sous-bois inspired bouquet with black rather than red fruit, the whole bunch imparting freshness and complexity. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin, good density but still fresh and vital. The stemminess comes through just a little in terms of texture, but otherwise given that around 80% was destroyed by hail (three barrels from 0.60-hectares), this is a great success for Thomas Bouley.
