En Primeur | Domaine Jean-Marc & Thomas Bouley
Founded in 1919 by François Bouley, this 100-year-old family domaine is now run by his extremely capable great grandson Thomas. He follows organic practices and, with the recent completion of a modern cuverie with individual temperature-controlled vats built to reflect vineyard parcel size and production, handles each wine individually down to the finest detail. An extremely impressive range of characterful wines.

This village cuvée offers a perfect representation of Volnay from vines aged between 45- 83 years situated just below Premier Cru Les Carelles. It is a warm plot so was potentially vulnerable when the frost came but has come through with flying colours! Raspberry and tayberry bouquet, it has a chalky mineral sensation in the mouth, whilst rounded and charming in nature. The tannins are soft, fine and perfectly balanced.

The red ferrous soil of this vineyard always produces a richly flavoured wine with a deep in nature. Thomas loves this vineyard. Shining scarlet colour, crystalline and sweet red fruit. With flesh and volume, the tannins are lacy and fine. Sweet and gracefully persistent on the finish.
