Jean-Marc Volnay 1er Cru “Les Carelles” 2016

Volnay in the Côte du Beaune is dominated by Pinot Noir plantings. Historically both it and neighbouring village Pommard were considered to produce bold, often tannic reds. A signature of their terroir they said.

From father to son through numerous generations, the Bouley family cultivates vineyards in Volnay. In the last century, from 1919, François Bouley manages the family estate. Christian will succeed him in 1948. Jean-Marc creates his own Domain in 1974, to which his father’s vineyards are added in 1984.

In 2002, Thomas joins the Domain and takes the management in 2012. His main objective is to join the great Domains in Volnay and he’s doing all the right things!
