The 2024 Domaine Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette is a beautifully perfumed and finely structured Gamay from one of Beaujolais’ most revered traditional growers. Produced from old vines planted on 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, freshness and aromatic lift. The nose reveals wild strawberry, black cherry and raspberry layered alongside violet, crushed stone and subtle spice notes, 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 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 refinement, while traditional semi-carbonic vinification preserves the energy and transparency of the fruit.
