The 2022 Domaine Jean-Marc et Thomas Bouley Volnay Clos de la Cave is an elegant and finely detailed Premier Cru Burgundy that captures the finesse and aromatic purity of Volnay. Sourced from the Clos de la Cave vineyard, it reflects a harmonious balance between the richness of the vintage and the appellation’s signature delicacy. The nose is perfumed and expressive, offering red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, layered with notes of rose petals, spice and subtle earthy undertones.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky, refined texture and very fine tannins. Bright red fruit is supported by fresh acidity, leading to a long, graceful and precise finish. The style is poised and sophisticated, emphasizing elegance, lift and terroir expression.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout for customers seeking a more delicate, perfumed style of Burgundy compared to structured villages like Pommard. It’s beautifully balanced and approachable with aging potential. Drink from 2025 or over the next 8–12 years. Perfect with duck, roast poultry, pork or mushroom dishes.
