Every vine receives individual attention, every bunch is inspected as though everything depended on it \u2013 which it does. In 2002, at just twenty years of age, he joined his father Jean-Marc and vowed to lead the domaine in Volnay to the very top. Today his name is mentioned in the same breath as Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Lafarge\u2019s. Eight hectares are spread across 29 parcels in Volnay, Pommard and Beaune \u2013 a mosaic of Burgundian vineyard sites that Thomas interprets with the utmost diversity. Organic farming without certification, biodynamic influences without dogma, and wood used with great sensitivity: never more than 50% new casks, so that fruit and elegance take centre stage.\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" title=\"More about Jean-Marc &amp; Thomas Bouley\" href=\"#more\">More about the estate<\/a><\/div>","link":"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/en\/jean-marc-thomas-bouley\/","name":"Jean-Marc &amp; Thomas Bouley","slug":"jean-marc-thomas-bouley","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":9181,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Jean-Marc &amp; Thomas Bouley \u2013 Volnay | Lebendige Weine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Domaine Jean-Marc &amp; Thomas Bouley aus Volnay: Eleganter Pinot Noir von 29 Parzellen.

Stretta tra le vicine Pommard e Meursault, questa denominazione d\u00e0 vini che convincono pi\u00f9 per finezza che per potenza. Thomas Bouley lo ha fatto suo. Sulle sue <strong>29 diverse parcelle<\/strong> lavora una squadra cos\u00ec meticolosa che a volte un collaboratore si occupa di pochi ettari soltanto. Inerbimento d'inverno contro l'erosione, erbe spontanee d'estate per regolare l'umidit\u00e0: metodi tradizionali che lui unisce alle conoscenze moderne. Il <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/it\/jean-marc-thomas-bouley-volnay-aoc-2021\/\">Volnay AOC<\/a> mostra gi\u00e0 al livello d'ingresso dove porta tanta cura: un Pinot Noir di trama setosa, con aromi di amarena e violetta.\n\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-76740 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/thomas-bouleys-classical-wine-celler.jpg\" alt=\"La cantina classica di Thomas Bouley con botti di rovere\" \/>\n\n<h2>Biologico senza bollino, biodinamico senza dogmi<\/h2>\n\nThomas rinuncia a prodotti di sintesi ed erbicidi: da quando \u00e8 entrato in azienda ha convertito tutto con coerenza. Una <strong>certificazione biologica ufficiale<\/strong> volutamente non ce l'ha, ma documenta la sua pratica sulla parola. I ritmi cosmici entrano nella potatura e nell'imbottigliamento, senza che lui si sottometta per intero al regolamento biodinamico. \u00abSi tratta di uve sane\u00bb, dice, \u00abnon di ideologia\u00bb. Tiene bassi i rendimenti e alto il lavoro manuale. Questa filosofia la condivide con colleghi come <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/it\/chandon-de-briailles\/\">Chandon de Briailles<\/a>, anch'esso di casa nella C\u00f4te de Beaune.\n\n<h2>Il legno come strumento, non come sapore<\/h2>\n\nLa stampa specializzata ne loda la <strong>sensibilit\u00e0 nell'uso del legno<\/strong>. A seconda dell'annata i vini maturano da 15 a 20 mesi in botti di rovere, con una quota di legno nuovo sotto il 50%. Per i suoi Premiers Crus, come il <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/it\/volnay-1er-cru-carelle-sous-la-chapelle-aoc-2021-jean-marc-thomas-bouley\/\">Volnay 1er Cru \u00abCarelle sous la Chapelle\u00bb<\/a>, sceglie botti che incorniciano il frutto invece di coprirlo. Fermentazione a grappolo intero e fermentazione spontanea sono la regola, chiarifica e filtrazione l'eccezione. Il risultato: vini pieni di energia, che entusiasmano da giovani e possono invecchiare per decenni.\n\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-76734 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/vineyards-of-thomas-bouley.jpg\" alt=\"Vigneti di Thomas Bouley a Volnay in autunno\" \/>\n\n<h2>Da Volnay a Pommard: la gamma<\/h2>\n\nI vini di punta si chiamano <strong>Volnay Les Caillerets<\/strong> e <strong>Pommard Les Rugiens<\/strong>, due Premier Cru che mostrano tutto il talento di Thomas.
