Description
The story of Domaine Pierrick Bouley dates back to the 1970s when Pierrick's father, Gilles Bouley, started acquiring vineyards in Pommard. Gilles was passionate about winemaking and had a deep respect for the terroir of Burgundy. He passed on his love for the vineyards and winemaking to his son, Pierrick, who took over the domaine in 2015 after working alongside his father for several years.
Pierrick inherited his father's philosophy of focusing on the vineyards and respecting the terroir. He took over almost 10 hectares of vineyards in Pommard, divided into over 40 parcels, and has been working tirelessly to improve the viticulture practices. He uses high canopies to provide more shade for the grapes, which helps to maintain their acidity and freshness. In several parcels, he practices "tressage," where the vines are rolled over rather than hedged, allowing the shoots to receive more sunlight and reducing the need for pesticides.
