Domaine Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette Vieilles Vignes Sable 2021

Domaine Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette Vieilles Vignes Sable comes from vines planted in 1926 on the granitic sand of the Corcelette climat.

Corcelette sits on the northern edge of Morgon and is the exception among the cru’s terroirs — sand over granite rather than the decomposed schist of the Côte du Py — which gives wines of greater perfume and rounder, finer tannin. Sable, meaning sand, is the sister bottling to Bouland’s Cailloux, which comes from the rockier ground within the same climat, and the pair make a straightforward demonstration of what soil does to Gamay. The vines here went in during 1926, so this is a Vieilles Vignes cuvée in the fullest sense, and the crop those gnarled old trunks carry is correspondingly small. The wine was raised in an old foudre. As across the range, Bouland ferments whole bunches with indigenous yeasts and adds nothing in the way of new oak.

Drinking now and capable of eight to ten years. Serve at 16-18°C with roast lamb, game birds or a slow-cooked beef daube.
