BOULAND MORGON CORCELETTE VIEILLES VIGNES SABLE 2023

Style: Savoury & Detailed

One of Beaujolais¿ more reclusive growers, Daniel Bouland makes some of the most old-school and expressive wines in the whole of the region. Hand harvested from old Gamay vines in the Morgon lieux-dits of Corcelette, Bellevue and Pré Jourdan, Bouland¿s wines are defiantly deep, dark, country-style reds with plenty of grip and overflowing with personality.

One of three site-specific wines from Corcelette, this cuvée is drawn from old vines on granitic sand soils (sable means sand). The vines were planted in 1926, so it¿s truly a Vieilles Vignes cuvée. It is the sister wine, if you like, to the Cailloux (stony) cuvée. Unsurprisingly, Bouland¿s gnarled old trunks have over-delivered again. Raised in an old foudre, it¿s a layered, inky, mouthcoating Morgon oozing blood plum and blackcurrant fruit framed by melting tannins, juicy acids and a long, perfumed finish. If it were from the Côte d'Or, you would be well into three figures. BIBENDUM Importer
