Bourgogne Côte d'Or Pinot Noir

Pierrick Bouley
Crafted in Volnay by a young vigneron with a real feel for finesse, this red comes from vines rooted in the limestone-rich soils of the Côte d'Or. The 2020 vintage brings ripe, sun-kissed fruit without losing freshness: think juicy cherry, redcurrant and a whisper of violet, wrapped in silky tannins. Hand-harvested grapes, a gentle fermentation and patient ageing in oak barrels keep everything beautifully balanced and naturally expressive. It's the sort of bottle you'll want on a weeknight with roast chicken, charcuterie or a creamy mushroom risotto. Elegant, honest Burgundy that drinks wonderfully now, or over the next few years.
