The 2022 Domaine Jean-Marc et Thomas Bouley Volnay Vieilles Vignes is a refined and expressive red Burgundy that showcases the depth and concentration of old-vine Pinot Noir from Volnay. Crafted from mature vines, it offers added complexity while maintaining the appellation’s hallmark elegance and finesse. The nose is perfumed and layered, revealing red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, alongside notes of rose petals, spice and subtle earthy undertones.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky, textured mouthfeel and fine, integrated tannins. Concentrated red fruit flavours are balanced by fresh acidity, leading to a long, smooth and harmonious finish. The style is elegant yet slightly more structured, offering both charm and depth.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for customers seeking a more concentrated and complex Volnay while retaining a delicate, perfumed profile. It offers immediate appeal but will also reward short to mid-term cellaring. Drink from 2025 or over the next 6–10 years. Perfect with duck, roast poultry, pork or mushroom-based dishes.
