“Thomas Bouley – a great source for quality Volnay”
Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

“One of Volnay’s ablest viticulturists and wine makers. Thomas Bouley presides over this 8.5 hectare Domaine. Wine making is classical. The influence of new oak is minimal. These are supple new perfumed wines with lovely textural elegance and concentration that comes from the vineyards. Bouley is justly proud of an excellent portfolio of red Burgundies.”
