Sub-Category: Red wine

Domaine Jean-Marc Bouley is a family-owned winery located in the heart of the Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy, France. Their Volnay 1er Cru Les Carelles 2017 is a beautifully balanced and elegant wine, with a deep ruby color and a bouquet of dark cherry, raspberry, and blackcurrant aromas, accented by hints of vanilla and spice.

On the palate, this wine is medium-bodied with silky tannins and a lively acidity, delivering flavors of ripe red and black fruits, along with notes of earth, forest floor, and a touch of smokiness. The finish is long and complex, with a lingering fruitiness and a subtle mineral character.

The 2017 vintage was marked by warm and dry weather conditions, leading to a ripe and concentrated harvest. This wine can be enjoyed now or cellared for several years to allow its flavors and aromas to further develop. It pairs well with a variety of dishes, including roasted lamb, grilled beef, and mushroom risotto.
