Domaine Jean-Marc Bouley is a prestigious winery located in the heart of Burgundy, France, with a long-standing history of winemaking that dates back to the early 14th century. In 1985, Jean-Marc Bouley took over the family winery after his father's passing. Today, the estate spans over 12 hectares and boasts vineyards in Volnay, Pommard, and Beaune. After gaining experience in Oregon and New Zealand's Felton Road, Thomas Bouley, Jean-Marc's son, assumed the winemaking responsibilities in 2006. The estate is renowned for producing wines that exhibit exceptional transparency of terroir, purity, and fruit density, harmonizing the traditional Burgundy wine style with the New World wine style. The winery follows a philosophy of honouring the terroir by allowing it to express itself fully in the wines. The vineyards are meticulously tended, and the grapes are hand-picked to ensure the highest quality. The winemaking process is gentle and non-intrusive, allowing the wines to convey the unique character of the terroir. Pommard is a renowned wine village located in the Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy, France. The village is known for producing some of the finest Pinot Noir wines in the world.
Domaine Jean-Marc et Thomas Bouley Pommard 2017 vintage is a beautiful example of a Pinot Noir wine from the Pommard region. The grapes are handpicked and carefully sorted before undergoing fermentation in open vats. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for 12 months. The wine displays a lovely ruby-red colour and aromas full of red and black fruit aromas, including cherries, blackberries, and blueberries, which are typical of Pommard Pinot Noir. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a fine tannic structure that gives it great ageing potential. It is complex and nuanced, with flavours of ripe fruit, earthy spices, and subtle notes of oak, creating a perfect balance. The wine finishes with a long and satisfying aftertaste that lingers on the palate, leaving a memorable impression.
