Pinot Noir
75cl * Sustainable * 13.0% ABV * Burgundy, France
This estate in the heart of Volnay was taken over by Pierrick Bouley in 2012, who is since a winner of 'Young Vigneron of the Year' in Bourgogne Aujourd’hui magazine. He adopts a 'hands-off' approach to his winemaking, using minimal sulphur to allow the wines to evolve naturally during fermentation, and practicing sustainable methods throughout the vineyard and winery. The result: wines of very pure fruit, unmasked by oak, showing silky tannins and formidable length – just as Volnay should taste. Wines of stature as well as structure, retaining superb balance.
From the excellent 2020 vintage, Domaine Bouley's Volnay has elegant, floral aromas with plush, juicy fruit on the palate and a lovely soft finish.
Decant for a few hours, and serve at 14-16°C. Pair with lamb cutlets or veal.
Drink to 2036.
