Domaine Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette Vieilles Vignes Cailloux 2024

Domaine Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette Vieilles Vignes Cailloux comes from the rockier soils of Corcelette, the stony counterpart to the domaine’s Sable cuvée.

Corcelette lies in the hilly north-west of Morgon, where most of Daniel Bouland’s old bush vines are planted. Since the 2019 vintage he has bottled the climat’s old-vine fruit in two versions, distinguished on the label by soil: Sable from granitic sand and Cailloux, meaning stones, from the rockier ground. The Cailloux vines are only slightly younger than the near-centenarians behind the Sable, and the stonier terroir gives a marginally more structured Morgon. Fermentation is natural and whole-bunch, as across the range, with low yields and no fining. Compared directly with the Sable, this shows more orange and spice shading and a smoky, hot-rocks mineral profile, long and firm through the finish. It is Bouland’s own favourite of his wines this year.

Approachable now but built to age for a decade or more. Serve at 16-18°C with roast duck, braised beef or a mushroom ragù.
