The 2023 Domaine Daniel Bouland Morgon Bellevue Sable is a beautifully perfumed and finely textured Gamay from one of Beaujolais’ most revered traditional growers. Produced from old vines planted on sandy granite soils in the Bellevue sector of Morgon, the wine reflects Daniel Bouland’s low-intervention philosophy, combining concentration and depth with remarkable elegance and aromatic lift. The nose reveals wild strawberry, black cherry and raspberry layered alongside violet, crushed stone and subtle earthy spice, giving the wine impressive purity and finesse.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a finely etched mineral core. Layers of juicy dark berry fruit, savoury spice and delicate earthy complexity are balanced by freshness and supple texture, finishing long, poised and beautifully persistent with excellent balance and ageing potential. The sandy granite soils contribute additional aromatic elegance and refinement, while traditional semi-carbonic vinification preserves the energy and transparency of the fruit.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Domaine Daniel Bouland Morgon Bellevue Sable is a superb Cru Beaujolais — elegant, mineral and beautifully expressive with outstanding freshness and finesse.
