This First Growth Beaune lies on a gentle slope between two other First Growths, Les Avaux and Les Teurons, near the edge of town. The Bouley vines are old – located on the lower part of the vineyard, on a sunny, free-draining, quite sandy plot. It was again the Domaine’ first vineyard to be picked, and two thirds of the grapes went into the vat as whole bunches, contributing to this wine’s rich spiciness. It is of medium-deep, ruby colour, with very expressive aromas. Palate is charmingly round and generous. This may certainly be enjoyed while youthful (for drinking 2026-2032+).

Winemaker
Domaine Jean-Marc Bouley
Following Thomas Bouley’s arrival to work with his father Jean-Marc, this Domaine has taken its place alongside Volnay’s top estates. Thomas has fine-tuned the winemaking with rare intelligence and skill. The estate has several parcels of old vines and some superbly-placed First Growths. Here we find carefully judged extractions, intelligent inclusion of whole cluster bunches, and judicious, minimal use of new oak barrels. Allowing the wines to pass a second winter in barrel, prior to their bottling, contributes considerably to their complexities and harmony. Thomas tells us. “2004 was the last year we did a green harvest here. We have a naturally low crop (for example, 27 hl/ha across the Domaine in 2019) because we prune pretty short, we keep old vines, and we trim high and late, to favour small bunches. For me, the second winter in barrel is magical, it helps the wines to be finer and fresher.”
