Daniel Bouland® Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette Beaujolais 2022 – 8217887178992

Rock-star producer Domaine Bouland, is a maker that sheds a floodlight on the various Cru of Beaujolais and one of only six domaines with two stars or above in the Beaujolais.  He makes compelling wines from what is now a hot-ticket appellation. And 2022 is another outstanding vintage for Daniel Bouland.   

This wine is the first of three cuvées focusing on Corcelette’s sandy, granitic soils. This soil generates wines of great perfume and finer, rounder tannins than those of Morgon’s more schist-influenced terroirs. Bouland separates his so-called ‘younger’ vines in this area (60 years on average, so hardly young!) from his very oldest bush vines, which are bottled under the Vieilles Vignes label.

This is a superb start to a stunning set of 2022 Morgons. It’s packed with silky red fruit, wet rock and a twist of inky reduction, and has a seamless structure that is already incredibly seductive. Wonderful balance and purity, this is a simply gorgeous and impressively focused release.
