Pierrick Bouley

Pierrick Bouley now leads his family’s sixth-generation wine estate in Volnay, formerly known as Réyane and Pascal Bouley. He joined full-time in 2009 and took responsibility for the estate with the 2014 vintage. About thirteen hectares are spread across roughly sixty parcels in Volnay and neighbouring Côte de Beaune appellations, with vines averaging around fifty years old.

His work toward organic certification includes limiting tractor passes and avoiding herbicides, insecticides and anti-rot treatments. Grapes are picked by hand and fermented without added cultured yeast or enzymes. The wines spend roughly twelve months in French oak barrels, with filtration used only when needed.
