Pierrick Bouley was born in 1987 and trained in viticulture and oenology in Beaune before founding his own estate in Monthélie in 2016. Bouley works with 5 hectares across Monthélie and Volnay, focusing on premier cru parcels with distinct soils and microclimates. His philosophy centres on low-intervention, terroir-driven wines that express the unique character of each vineyard. Grapes are hand-harvested, fermentations are indigenous yeast-led, and wines are aged in carefully selected French oak barrels, with minimal sulphur, no fining, and no filtration. The aim is to highlight both village identity and individual cru expression.
Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes 2022 comes from clay-limestone soils in one of Volnay’s most structured premier cru parcels. Clos des Chênes yields wines with depth, ripe black cherry, raspberry, and earthy, spicy nuances. The 2022 vintage allowed excellent ripeness and firm tannins. Grapes were hand-picked, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged 14–16 months in French oak barrels, producing a wine with power, complexity, and aging potential.
