About Domaine Reyane et Pascal Bouley

Domaine Reyane et Pascal Bouley is a family-run wine estate based in Volnay, in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. The Bouley family’s winemaking history stretches back several generations, with a deep-rooted connection to the region’s traditions and terroir. Today, the domaine is managed by Reyane and Pascal Bouley, who have continued the family legacy while bringing their own vision and expertise to the estate. Their vineyards are primarily located in Volnay, with additional parcels in Pommard and Monthelie, covering a total of approximately 8 hectares. The domaine’s holdings encompass a range of prestigious appellations, including village-level and premier cru sites, allowing them to showcase the unique characteristics of each terroir.

The Bouleys are committed to sustainable viticulture, working the land with respect for the environment and the biodiversity of their vineyards. They employ traditional methods such as plowing between the vines and limiting the use of chemicals, favoring organic treatments whenever possible. This careful attention to the health of the soil and vines is reflected in the quality and expression of their wines. Harvesting is done by hand to ensure that only the best grapes are selected, and the yields are kept deliberately low to concentrate the flavors and aromas in the finished wines.

In the cellar, Pascal and Reyane Bouley adhere to classic Burgundian winemaking techniques, emphasizing minimal intervention to allow the character of the fruit and the nuances of the terroir to shine. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, and the wines are aged in French oak barrels, with a judicious use of new oak to provide structure without overpowering the delicate Pinot Noir fruit. The result is a range of wines that are elegant, nuanced, and expressive, capturing the essence of Volnay’s famed finesse and silkiness. Their Volnay and Pommard wines are particularly prized for their aromatic complexity, fine tannins, and ability to age gracefully.

Domaine Reyane et Pascal Bouley has built a reputation among Burgundy enthusiasts for producing wines that are both authentic and approachable.

The domaine’s commitment to excellence extends from the vineyard to the bottle, with meticulous attention paid to every stage of production. Their wines are sought after by collectors and sommeliers alike, valued for their purity, balance, and sense of place.
