Pierrick Bouley Aux Fournereaux Monthélie AOC 0,75 ℓ

What kind of wine is itMonthélie “Aux Fournereaux” by Pierrick Bouley is a still red wine made entirely from Pinot Noir, created to offer a clear expression of the grape variety and its place of origin. The style focuses on defined fruit and measured texture, with a flavor profile that is sustained and consistent with the region. Aging in barrique adds greater depth and a more complete structure without altering the wine’s character.Where does it come fromIt is produced in Monthélie, Burgundy, in the Aux Fournereaux parcel, with a south-southeast exposure that encourages consistent grape ripening. The soils combine red clay and marl over a gravelly limestone substrate, a mix that influences the balance between tension and texture. This set of terroir elements guides the wine’s identity and defines its taste signature.How is it madeSince 2016, vinification has been carried out without the addition of sulfites, with careful management of fermentations to preserve fresh and fruity aromas. After maceration on the skins and fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in barrique, a step that adds complexity and supports the structure. The goal is to enhance Pinot Noir while maintaining precision and expressive clarity.Tasting notesOn the nose, red fruits stand out, accompanied by a fresh note that supports the aromatic progression. The palate is rich and layered, supported by a pleasant acidity that extends the sip. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, contributing to a tidy and fruit-driven finish.Food pairingsIt pairs consistently with red meats and game, where freshness and tannic texture support flavorful dishes. It also works well with aged cheeses, thanks to a structure that withstands intensity and persistence. Its gastronomic profile makes it suitable for the table without requiring complex pairings.When to serve itIt is a good choice when looking for a Monthélie Pinot Noir with a clear sense of place and a structure defined by barrel aging. Thanks to its aging potential, it can also be appreciated after a period of bottle ageing, when the profile becomes more relaxed and integrated. The limited production reflects Pierrick Bouley’s meticulous work in the vineyard and cellar.
