Domaine Daniel Bouland Morgon Pré Jourdan 2023

Domaine Daniel Bouland Morgon Pré Jourdan comes from a north-east-facing parcel of 70-year-old vines on the Morgon-Fleurie border.

Pré Jourdan sits in the north-eastern corner of Morgon, where the cru meets Fleurie, on the south side of a small valley so that its exposition looks north-east towards the vineyard of Douby. Daniel Bouland farms a tiny holding of 70-year-old vines here, just enough to fill a single large cask, in this case a relatively young Rousseau foudre. The soils are predominantly granitic sand, as in his Bellevue and Corcelette parcels, but they run deeper, which gives a fleshier and more aromatic Morgon. Fermentation is natural and whole-bunch, in keeping with the rest of the range. In Beaujolais terms the wine is profoundly deep, rolling out in palate-staining layers of spice-infused blueberry and blackberry with smoked meat and dark, slaty mineral notes, yet it keeps genuine nuance and lift.

Drinking well now and holding for eight to ten years. Serve at 16-18°C with roast duck, braised beef or charcuterie.
