Domaine Jean Marc Bouley Volnay

The Volnay AOC comes from a 3.5 hectare parcel. It is mixture of fruit from old vines (25 year old) and a new section planted by Bouley 15 years ago. The wine is aged 18 months in oak barrels, with 25 % new oak. Clive Coates characterized it as “quite pretty…a stylish example, very Volnay” which roughly means: a fragrant, broad textured, fruity wine with scents and flavors of violets and plums. It is enjoyable now and will develop further with 2-3 years of bottle age.
