Domaine Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette Vieilles Vignes Sable 2024

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. Despite the vine age the winemaking remains the same, so what you have here is the depth, intensity and personality coaxed from some of Morgon’s oldest vines. The value here is off the charts. Again, it’s chockfull of compact, mouthwatering raspberry fruit: such a jubey, fine and pretty wine. If it was from the Cote d’Or, you’d swear you were in Chambolle.
