2022 at the Pierrick Bouley estate
Domaine Pierrick Bouley's vision for the 2022 vintage
Domaine Pierrick Bouley's 2022 vintage was marked by exceptional weather conditions and meticulous work both in the vines and in the winery. This vintage stands out for its ease of work in the vines and the superior quality of the grapes, in stark contrast to the challenges encountered in 2021.
The year 2022 began with a worrying period of drought, characterized by a severe lack of water. However, salvific rainfall in June provided the water needed for optimal vine development. Fortunately, no diseases affected the vines this season, and bad weather such as frost and hail spared the estate's plots.
At harvest time, the grapes were remarkably healthy and beautiful. Fermentation went off without a hitch, testifying to the exceptional quality of the grapes. Once vinified and bottled, the 2022 vintage proves to be accessible and pleasant to drink young, while offering great ageing potential for the finest crus.

The 2022 vintage is richer than the 2021, which makes it slightly less typical of traditional Burgundy wines, but it remains highly appreciated for its quality. This year's wines are generous, easy to enjoy when young, but also show a structure that will enable them to age well.
In terms of yields, the 2022 vintage was very satisfactory for Domaine Pierrick Bouley. With yields of 30 to 40 hectolitres per hectare, this year's harvest is considered a very fine performance for the estate, especially given the usual practice of low yields that characterizes Pierrick Bouley's work.
All in all, Domaine Pierrick Bouley's 2022 vintage is a shining example of what favorable weather conditions combined with exceptional know-how can offer. Accessible and promising, this vintage will delight lovers of young wines and collectors of great vintages. This is a not-to-be-missed vintage for all Burgundy wine enthusiasts, offering a remarkable taste experience and impressive ageing potential.
