Tasting Notes

The majority of Daniel Bouland's old bush vines are rooted within the Morgon climat of Corcelette, in the hilly Haut Morgon to the northwest of the appellation. Within this area there are a number of lieux dits (place names or vineyards), that Bouland is starting to bottle separately; Bellevue is one of these. The vines here are 40-60 years old and it's a particularly stony site, southeast facing, with a plethora of rocks that radiate warmth, and plenty of schist that runs through the sandy soil (much like Côte de Puy). This is Bouland's earliest ripening site, and the wine tends to be fleshier when young and comes with its own unique characteristics, including a super bright and tangy persona. It is made exactly the same way as all of the Bouland wines: natural, whole bunch ferment, concrete tank/foudre élevage and no filtration. - Importer Note

There is nothing "nouveau" about this new release of Beaujolais: Daniel Bouland is old school. He might not have the superstar status of the likes of Lapierre or Foillard, but he certainly is a favourite of ours, and joins the elite as one of only five producers in Beaujolais to be classified as a "producteur des très grande qualité".

Bouland is a reclusive genius. He spends his time tending and hand-picking his 6 hectares of old vine Gamay, spread mainly throughout Morgon, one of the 10 Beaujolais crus.

The soils of Morgon range from sandy loams to heavier clays, and the ferrous richness is expressed by a deep, and Burgundian earthiness. Bouland's Morgon wines are certainly worthy of the verb "to morgonner", the term given to the distinct wines of Morgon that age to become silky in a Burgundian fashion.

Each release, Bouland's 10 cuvées explore the site-specific pockets of his vineyards across Chiroubles, Côte de Brouilly and of course both the pebbly and the sandy soils of the lieux-dits of Morgon. - Peta W
