Jean-Marc Bouley Volnay 2015 Bottle (75cl)
Jean-Marc Bouley Volnay 2015 is a Village-classified red Burgundy wine, made from 100% Pinot Noir within the Volnay appellation. This cuvée comes from five parcels located at the top and bottom of the slope, with a southeast exposure, on deep clay-limestone soils. The estate practices ploughing without weedkillers or chemical fertilisers, harvests manually, and sorts the grapes. Open-vat vinification lasts about 15 to 20 days, followed by 18 months of ageing in oak barrels, of which 25% are new.

Histoire du domaine
The Bouley family's presence in the Volnay terroir has been documented by La Revue du vin de France since 1527. The chronology published by the estate begins in 1919, when François Bouley took over the management of the family vineyard. His son Christian succeeded him in 1948. Jean-Marc Bouley established his own winery in 1974, initially consisting of 2.5 hectares under a sharecropping agreement according to Le Figaro Vin, and then integrated his father's vines into it in 1984. Thomas Bouley joined the estate in 2002 after training in oenology and took over its management in 2012. Today, he is the legal manager of the operating company, while Jean-Marc Bouley remains a partner. The estate now farms 8.8 hectares across 29 parcels; a new winery, started in 2015, became operational for the 2016 harvest.
