Jean-Marc & Thomas Bouley | Burgundy | Volnay AOC | 2021 | 750ml

Description

Product description for Jean-Marc & Thomas Bouley Volnay AOC 2021 At the domaine, founded in 1919, Thomas Bouley has ensured an unstoppable rise to the top of the Volnay appellation since 2010. Meticulous vineyard work and his impressive feel for wood and tannins produce wines with power and substance, finesse, pure fruit, and rondeur. Bouley’s vineyards are located primarily around Volnay, but also in Pommard, Beaune, and Meursault. His main focus, however, is definitely Volnay, where he creates an impressive range, from the declassified Bourgogne Côte d’Or to the local wines and 1er Crus, which precisely reflect the terroir and demonstrate how high-quality and balanced one can achieve in this corner of Burgundy.

Information about the Wine

The Pinot Noir comes from five plots totaling two hectares in Volnay on the lower and upper slopes. The average age of the vines is 34 years. The soils are deep, clayey, and sit on a limestone base. The grapes were fully destemmed this year. Fermentation took place in open vats, and the wine was aged for 18 months in barriques. The proportion of new wood was 25%.

Colour

Deep garnet red, slightly translucent.

Nose

The nose of the Volnay Village 2021 is fresh, slightly yeasty (with a very fine sweetness), reminiscent of barberry and cranberry, some sour cherry and sweet cherry, and some ethereal notes. The wine does not betray the vintage, but appears fine and elegant.

Palate

On the palate, the Volnay Village is juicy and lively, with a distinct but well-integrated acidity and a tart finish that should continue to age. However, the smoothness, the fine extract sweetness, the lively fruit and the elegant texture make the Volnay an extremely attractive wine.
