Red Fruit, Earth, Spice

Burgundy / Red / Pinot Noir / Sustainable

Pierrick Bouley’s 2021 Bourgogne Côte d’Or is a finely detailed and expressive Pinot Noir sourced from vineyards in Volnay and Monthélie. Fermented with partial whole clusters and aged in older oak, the wine presents aromas of wild cherry, crushed raspberry, and forest floor. The palate is sleek and lifted, with fine-grained tannins, vivid red fruit, and subtle spice. A fresh, elegant red Burgundy that offers real precision and charm at the regional level.
