About this Wine
A handful of bottles from one of Pierrick Bouley’s rarest and most unusual cuvées. Fermented on its skins for two weeks before ageing in oak, it has a striking orange-rosé colour, vibrant freshness and a gentle, savoury grip. A fascinating meeting point between white Burgundy, rosé and orange wine, made in quantities so tiny that it is almost never seen.

Tasting Notes
An exceptionally rare skin-contact Bourgogne, with a striking orange-rosé colour, vibrant freshness and gentle grip.
The Pierrick Bouley Nobody Knew Existed
This is where white Burgundy wanders gloriously off-script. Pierrick describes it as fresh, orange-rosé in colour and particularly suited to spring. The extended skin contact brings a fascinating extra dimension: bright citrus and orchard-fruit freshness meet flashes of apricot skin, red fruit, gentle spice and a subtle, tea-like grip.
It has the energy of a white, some of the structure of a very light red and the savoury texture of a carefully made orange wine. Most importantly, it remains clean, precise and recognisably Pierrick Bouley rather than veering into anything heavy, oxidative or aggressively funky.
A genuinely unique bottle for adventurous Burgundy drinkers.

The Plot
From vineyards around Volnay planted in 100% Chardonnay on clay & limestone terroir.
Technical Details
The grapes were completely destemmed before beginning a two-week fermentation and maceration in stainless-steel vats using native yeasts.
During fermentation, Pierrick carried out a pump-over every two days but performed only two punch-downs in total. This relatively gentle extraction draws colour, aroma and texture from the skins without overwhelming the wine with tannin.
After maceration, the wine was pressed and transferred to oak for ageing.
The result sits somewhere between white, rosé and orange wine: dry, fresh and brightly coloured, with greater texture and grip than a traditionally vinified Chardonnay.

Verified Trustpilot ReviewFAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
Yes. This is ready to drink now and should give plenty of pleasure straight away. Open it for its perfume, texture and charm rather than waiting for the perfect distant moment.
Should I buy one bottle or a few?
One to try, three if you want to follow it over time, six if you already know the producer or style. Burgundy moves quickly, and small parcels rarely hang around for long.

How quickly will it arrive?
Fast. We ship every wine on a next-working-day service and dispatch Monday to Friday. At checkout, you can even choose a delivery day that suits you.
How is it packed?
Each bottle is wrapped in tissue before being carefully placed into our specially imported Italian boxes, tested to rigorous standards. We have literally dropped them from the first storey of our house. All our packaging is paper-based and recyclable.
Can I send it as a gift?
Absolutely. As standard, our wines arrive wrapped in bespoke tissue paper. At checkout, you can also add gift bags, gift boxes and notes.
