The 2022 Domaine Jean-Marc et Thomas Bouley Volnay 1er Cru Les Carelles Sous la Chapelle is a refined and expressive Premier Cru Burgundy that beautifully showcases the elegance and precision of Volnay. Sourced from the Les Carelles Sous la Chapelle vineyard, it reflects a harmonious balance between the ripeness of the vintage and the appellation’s signature finesse. The nose is highly perfumed, revealing aromas of red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, layered with rose petals, spice and subtle mineral undertones.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky, seamless texture and very fine, polished tannins. Lively acidity supports vibrant red fruit and delicate savoury notes, leading to a long, graceful and nuanced finish. The style is pure, elegant and terroir-driven, with excellent aging potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is ideal for customers looking for a step up into Premier Cru Volnay with more depth and complexity while retaining a delicate, perfumed profile. It’s both charming in youth and capable of developing further with time. Drink from 2025 or over the next 8–12 years. Perfect with duck, roast poultry, veal or refined mushroom dishes.
