| | Daniel Bouland is a great producer of old-fashioned Morgon. He makes wines that can age 20 years, and are comparable to fine CĂ´te de Nuits Burgundies. All his grapes are hand-harvested and vinified with full clusters in order to extract all the organoleptic qualities, and bottled unfiltered. |
| | | 2018 Daniel Bouland Morgon Vieilles Vignes Corcelette $240 6pack
Daniel’s classic Morgon, vines 60-70 years, with a combination of part of the cuvée being aged in tank and part in 2000 Liter Rousseau foudre
94 Points William Kelly, Wine Advocate “From vines planted in sand—which is now indicated on the label—in 1927, Bouland's 2018 Morgon Corcelette Vieilles Vignes Sable unfurls in the glass with notions of ripe plums, red cherries, smokes meats, violets and black pepper. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and multidimensional, with a broad attack, considerable depth and dimension at the core, juicy acids and a long, intense finish. Powerful and concentrated but framed by velvety tannins, this brilliant Morgon is the antithesis of facile, ephemeral Beaujolais nouveau!”

| | 2018 Daniel Bouland Morgon Vieilles Vignes Delys $270 6pack DeLys is sable soil and one of the best situated in the appellation. Daniel’s parcel was planted in 1926 and yields are tiny, producing only 6600 bottles.
96 Points William Kelly, Wine Advocate “Revealing a deep and complex bouquet that mingles blackberry and cassis fruit with nuances of smoke, rich soil tones and spice, the wine is deep, full-bodied and enveloping, saturating the palate with layer after layer of sapid fruit and velvety tannin, its imposing structural bones entirely hidden by copious flesh.”
“As is often the case, this is a Morgon with more than a passing resemblance to a young Clape Cornas, and in its muscular stylist register, it's one of the finest cuvées being produced in the Beaujolais today.”
