2022 Pierrick Bouley Bourgogne Côte d’Or Pinot Noir

Pierrick Bouley Winery

Pierrick Bouley belongs to a small group of young Burgundian winemakers who consciously choose small-scale production and precision. The estate works with very limited plots and low yields, making the wines inherently rare. The focus is on purity, terroir expression, and balance, with a style that is understated yet profound. Due to the limited production, Pierrick Bouley wines are only available in small quantities.

Region, climate and location

The Bourgogne Côte d'Or region forms the heart of Burgundy and is known for its chalky soils and continental climate. These conditions produce Pinot Noir with refined acidity, aromatic clarity, and a distinct mineral undertone. The 2022 vintage produced ripe fruit, yet retained its freshness through careful harvesting and selection.

Vineyards

This Bourgogne Côte d'Or Pinot Noir comes from a single vineyard of just one hectare. The combination of limited size and low yields makes this wine exceptionally rare. The soil consists of limestone and clay, which contributes to the structure, tension, and precise expression of the Pinot Noir.

Grape varieties and composition

The wine is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir. The focus is entirely on the expression of this single plot, without blending with other vineyards, which ensures a clear provenance and a refined profile.

Harvest, vinification and maturation

The grapes are harvested by hand and rigorously selected. Vinification focuses on finesse and precision, with controlled extraction to preserve the elegance of Pinot Noir. Maturation takes place in oak barrels with a restrained use of new wood, ensuring the fruit and structure remain the focus.

Color, smell and taste

The wine displays a bright ruby red color. The nose reveals aromas of red berries, cherry, and raspberry, complemented by floral notes and a subtle earthy nuance. On the palate, the wine is refined and precise, with fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins that create tension and length. The fruit is clear and pure, supported by a light spiciness and an elegant structure. The finish is clean, energetic, and distinctly Burgundian in style.

Development and drinking window

This 2022 Bourgogne Côte d'Or Pinot Noir is already appealing for its freshness and balance, but it has sufficient structure to develop further in the coming years. Expect additional complexity and refinement with a few years of bottle aging.
