Bernard Bouvier makes polished, very accessible wines mainly in Marsannay and Gevrey, but also from vineyards further down the Côte. He farms entirely organically, and firmly believes that he only began to discern the real terroir of his wines after the switch ten years ago. He has the good fortune to possess vines that are mostly over fifty years old. In 2017 he took over 12 hectares from his brother, who was retiring, and the domaine now comprises a healthy 30 hectares, mostly in Marsannay.
2022 was an easy year for Bernard Bouvier. There was enough rain at the right time – plenty from the storm in June, then from mid-August regular small showers to moisten the leaves and relax the tannins in the skins. Some young vines suffered from drought, but on 5 September a healthy crop was harvested, 100 days after flowering. It was a year with lots of light, but the style is not that of a hot vintage – alcohol levels are modest and the wines are fresh, with elegant tannins and ripe fruit, not many above 13% alcohol.
