Goedhuis, December 2021
The Bouley estate has 2 different parcels of Clos des Chênes with vines aged at 45 years and 65 years. A flagship example, combining bright red cherry fruits and a dark earthy gamey personality. It shows its elegance the minute it is poured into a glass. With layered rich bold flavours, the tannins offer restraint and grip. Hugely intense and stunning length of coffee bean and spice on the finish. All about class.
Region
Volnay
A red wine appellation only, wines from Volnay might be considered the most revered of southern Burgundy. They have been celebrated since the 18th century for their delicacy. But they are not fruit forward like those of Beaune or Chorey Lès Beaune nor have the brooding structure of Pommard.Instead, they have superb linearity, focus and poise while sheathed in velvety tannin. This slightly reticent personality comes out even more with a bit of age, though some can be approached very young. There are no grand cru vineyards in Volnay, but there are some excellent premier cru examples including Volnay Les Champans and Volnay Les Caillerets. Chardonnay grown in the shared Santenots vineyard must be labelled as Meursault.
