Friarwood Fine Wines Ltd® 2022 Domaine Vincent Bouzereau Volnay – 9497587974391

ABOUT THE WINE
The Bouzereau family has been vine growers for over 10 generations. An interesting feature of the estate is the interest of Vincent (and his father before him) for vine-stocks. Current vines are issued from pre-phylloxera selections, and Vincent keeps reproducing qualitative vines from his vineyards rather than following the common usage of cloning a couple of specimens only. This technique provides more bio-diversity in Vincent’s vineyards, and reflects in his sensational wines. Vincent wine-making technique is traditional, he does not add any yeast or enzyme. The 2022 vintage, with its warm growing season, resulted in a wine with generous fruit and supple tannins, offering an early drinking window while promising further development with age.

TASTING NOTES  
The 2022 Domaine Vincent Bouzereau Volnay is a fragrant and elegant expression of Pinot Noir. Aromas of ripe red cherry, raspberry, and subtle violet are interwoven with hints of spice and earthy minerality. On the palate, the wine is silky and smooth, with fine tannins supporting flavours of red berries, plum, and a touch of savoury herbs. The finish is long and graceful, with a delicate balance of freshness and depth.

FOOD PAIRING
This Volnay pairs wonderfully with roasted poultry, duck, and game dishes. It also complements mushroom-based dishes and mild cheeses. For a more casual pairing, it shines with charcuterie and grilled meats. Best served at 16°C.

FRIARWOOD SAYS  
An exceptional expression of Volnay, the 2022 Domaine Vincent Bouzereau combines elegant fruit, delicate tannins, and a beautifully layered finish. A versatile wine that can be enjoyed now or aged for further complexity, it’s a great match for a wide range of dishes or simply savoured on its own.
