Domaine Jean Reverdy

Overview

This Domaine is located in Verdigny, one of the top villages in Sancerre. It dates back to 1650 and has been in the family for about 10 generations. Originally the family was growing vines and diverse polycultures, but since the 1950's they have been focusing on producing wine only. Christophe Reverdy, son of the late Jean Reverdy, now produces around 100,000 bottles per year on average and exports 70% of the total production to UK, Germany, Sweden, Japan and the USA.

Reviews

2018 Jean Reverdy Sancerre Rosé Les Villots - 90 PTS - IWR

"Medium reddish pink. Offering a rich, ripe nose and a round ripe palate, the Les Villots rosé is soft and fruit forward with red berry and cherry aromas and flavors. There’s medium acidity, but there’s less vibrancy here than in prior vintages of this wine. Still, very pleasant and easy drinking."

2017 Jean Reverdy Sancerre Rosé Les Villots - 92 PTS - IWR

"Light salmon pink. Rose petals and the essence of red berries on the nose. Perfumed on a mineral-laden yet creamy palate with flavors of red berries and pomegranate. Superbly balanced and consistently delicious year after year."

"A mix of 90% direct press and 10% saignée, the Reverdy Les Villots is a beautifully balanced rosé with vivacious acidity, very good balance, and enticing aromas and flavors of juicy red berries and pomegranate with excellent underlying minerality.

2014 Jean Reverdy Sancerre Rosé Les Villots - 90 PTS - VINOUS

"Light orange. Fresh raspberry, redcurrant and a subtle touch of jasmine on the incisive nose. Juicy raspberry and blood orange flavors become more minerally with air, offering an enticing combination of power and finesse. The mineral element drives the penetrating, long finish. - Josh Raynolds"

2013 Jean Reverdy Sancerre Rosé Les Villots - 92 PTS - W&S

"Firm and nervy, this radiates coolness, from the feel of its acidity to its crunchy sour cherry fruit. It's clean and precise, held firm by the limestone notes that run under the fruit. A terrific pour for a beet and goat cheese salad."

2012 Jean Reverdy Sancerre Rosé Les Villots - 90 PTS Best Buy - WA

"This 100% Pinot Noir rose from Sancerre is a consistent winner. The 2012 exhibits wonderful aromas of bay leaf, spring flowers, pomegranate, sweet cherries and underlying earthiness as well as minerality. This forward, delicate, light-colored rose should provide plenty of pleasure over the next year."
