Domaine Jean-Marc & Thomas Bouley

Domaine Jean-Marc & Thomas Bouley | Volnay

Excited to offer the wines of Thomas Bouley for the first time, we just secured a small parcel of his 2022s & 2023s, most limited to just 6-12 bottles of each...

"Walk through the vineyards of the Côte de Beaune, and Thomas Bouley’s eight hectares of vines are easy to spot. Their unusually high, evenly spaced canopies are hedged high and late (after bunch closure), casting dappled shade over supple, aerated soils that are often covered with a delicate carpet of grass and weeds. At harvest, his yields are moderate, and clusters are invariably open and healthy. Vineyards don’t look like this by accident, and it’s both Bouley’s results and the indefatigable work ethic that lies behind them that have won him the near-universal admiration of other growers along the Côte d’Or." -William Kelley

2023 Jean-Marc Bouley Bourgogne Cote d'Or Rouge
• 88WA
"Bottled in April 2025, the 2023 Bourgogne Côte d'Or Rouge offers up aromas of ripe berries, spices and a subtle hint of loamy soil, followed by a medium-bodied, rich and supple palate framed by powdery tannins that assert themselves with gentle grip on the finish." -WK

2022 Jean-Marc Bouley Bourgogne Cote d'Or Rouge
• 89WA
"Aromas of cherries, sweet berries and plums introduce Bouley's 2022 Bourgogne Côte d'Or Rouge, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate with a sweet core of fruit, powdery tannins and an expansive finish. It saw some 30% new wood and spent its second winter in tank." -WK

2023 Jean-Marc Bouley Volnay
• 91WA
"The 2023 Volnay Village has turned out beautifully, bursting with aromas of sweet red berries, cherries and rose petals. Medium- to full-bodied, suave and pure, it's elegantly fleshy, refined and persistent." -WK

2022 Jean-Marc Bouley Volnay
• 91WA
"The 2022 Volnay Village offers up aromas of cassis, cherries, rose petals and baking chocolate, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and textural palate with good density and structure. It's the usual blend combining holdings in the rich, clay soils of lieux-dits Poisots, Famines and Cros Martin—which bring fat and flesh—with the thinner, whiter soils of Ez Blanches above the Clos de Chênes—that lend the wine its tension and relief." -WK

2023 Jean-Marc Bouley Volnay Vieilles Vignes
• 92WA
"The 2023 Volnay Vieilles Vignes offers up aromas of cherry preserve, sweet berries, orange zest and petals, followed by a medium- to full-bodied, dense and supple palate. As readers may remember, it's derived from vines that see all-day sun and little in the way of breeze and are located in the red clay soils below premier cru Carelles." -WK

2023 Jean-Marc Bouley Volnay Clos de la Cave
• 94WA
"The 2023 Volnay Clos de la Cave is the finest rendition of this cuvée that I can remember tasting chez Bouley, perhaps because this year production was big enough that he was able not to include the 1996-planted clones in the cuvée. Wafting from the glass with a perfumed bouquet of rose petals, incense, spices and raspberries, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, with beautifully polished tannins and a long, aromatic finish." -WK

2023 Jean-Marc Bouley Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chenes
• 95WA
"The 2023 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes has turned out especially well this year, wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet cherries, berries, peonies and aromatic bark. Full-bodied, satiny and seamless, it's broad shouldered and powerful but also unusually refined and precise. Bouley's holdings in Clos des Chênes comprise both white and red soils, and he observes that the white soils are producing more fruit these days, altering the profile of the blend in the direction of finesse." -WK

2022 Jean-Marc Bouley Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chenes
• 95WA
"The 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes has turned out beautifully, wafting from the glass with notes of cassis, rose petals and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered palate with a cool core of fruit framed by sweet, powdery tannins that assert themselves on the floral finish. Especially suave and perfumed, it's reminiscent of a purer, more integrated version of Bouley's 2019." -WK
