Domaine Réyane & Pascale Bouley
There are a lot of young growers who are “bubbling up” in Volnay at the moment. I have been writing and praising the wines of Domaine Jean-Marc & Thomas Bouley for a few years now. Here is another “Bouley” in the form of Domaine Réyane & Pascal Bouley, although I am unsure if there is a close family connection between the two. Réyane & Pascal have recently passed the running of the domaine to their son Pierrick, the sixth generation of winemaker, who was pouring the wines at Les Grands Jours. Judging by the 2016s that I tasted, he is clearly a man to watch. Everything is of course, picked by hand, sorted and generally completely de-stemmed after which the wine undergoes a 10 to 12 days cuvaison with both pigeage and remontage. Pierrick has tweaked the formula a little, introducing lower extraction and decreasing the use of SO2 to the minimum necessary. Maturation is usually around 18 months with around 25% new oak. As you would expect, the range focuses on their home village of Volnay with a core of five Premier Crus including Clos des Chênes and Santenots. Pierrick is clearly fashioning elegant Volnays in a similar style to Michel Lafarge of Jean-Pierre Charlot at Domaine Joseph Voillot, the highlight for me being his Clos des Chênes (although I was only able to taste four of his 2016s). I will make a visit next time I am in the village to taste the full range. The only thing I don’t like? The labels. They look a bit old-fashioned!
