Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette

Daniel Bouland’s wines are among the most soulful, sought-after evocations of the Beaujolais cru of Morgon. He bottles three different single-vineyard Morgons which can go toe-to-toe with Pinots from the Côte de Nuits for two to three times the price! The Domaine is known for a big-boned style of Morgon, but that should not be confused with “fat.” He farms around seven hectares of vineyards, including pieces of some of Morgon’s choicest single vineyards, or lieux-dits: “Corcelette,” “Bellevue,” and “Delys,” all of which boast vines exceeding 60 years of age. Soil structures obviously differ among these three, but a common thread is the heavily granitic subsoil that characterizes much of Morgon and makes its wines some of the most structured and mineral of all the Beaujolais crus.
