The 2023 Domaine Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette is a beautifully refined and aromatic Gamay from one of Beaujolais’ most respected traditional growers. Produced from old vines in the sandy granite soils of the Corcelette sector of Morgon, the wine reflects Daniel Bouland’s low-intervention philosophy, balancing concentration and depth with remarkable elegance and perfume. The nose reveals wild strawberry, black cherry and raspberry layered alongside violet, crushed stone and subtle spice notes, giving the wine impressive lift and finesse.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a finely etched mineral core. Layers of juicy red and dark berry fruit, savoury spice and delicate earthy complexity are balanced by freshness and supple texture, finishing long, poised and beautifully persistent with excellent detail and ageing potential. The sandy soils of Corcelette contribute additional aromatic brightness and finesse, while traditional semi-carbonic vinification preserves the energy and transparency of the fruit.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Domaine Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette is a superb Cru Beaujolais — elegant, mineral and beautifully expressive with outstanding freshness and finesse. Perfect with roast duck, charcuterie, grilled pork, mushroom dishes or classic French bistro cuisine. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar gracefully through 2038+.
