This bottling originates from a 0.65-hectare site on the steep Chatenay slope, where soils of granite and yellow sandstone are characteristic of the appellation. The vines, aged between 35 and 45 years, benefit from a north-facing aspect sheltered by adjacent forest, creating a surprisingly warm microclimate. The 2024 vintage shows the cru's hallmark transparency: bright red and blue fruit, floral aromatics and fine texture. Drink now and for a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2024 Domaine Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette RRP: $65 | Offer: $59\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the first of three single-terroir cuvées from Bouland's Corcelette vineyard in Morgon, where sandy and granitic soils distinguish the site from the more schist-dominated areas of the appellation. These lighter soils are known to produce wines of greater aromatic intensity and softer, rounder tannin structure. The vines used here average 60 years in age and are classified as Bouland's younger Corcelette holdings; his oldest bush vines from the same area are reserved for a separate Vieilles Vignes bottling. Vinification follows the estate's consistent approach: whole-bunch fermentation with indigenous yeasts, with foot-treading employed at the close of fermentation to extend maceration naturally. The 2024 presents as the most approachable of the Corcelette series, showing silky blueberry, red floral notes and sarsaparilla on a seamlessly structured palate. Tannins are marginally firmer than those found in the higher-altitude Chiroubles, yet integration is precise and the overall impression one of effortless balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2024 Domaine Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette VV Sable RRP: $65 | Offer: $59\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Vieilles Vignes Sable is drawn from granitic sand soils, sable being the French term for sand, within the same premier lieu-dit. The vines were planted in 1926, making this a genuinely historic holding and the oldest in the Corcelette lineup. It is the direct counterpart to the Cailloux bottling, with the two wines offering a compelling study in how subtle soil variation within a single vineyard can shape entirely different expressions of Morgon.\u003cbr\u003eDespite the exceptional vine age, Bouland's approach in the cellar remains consistent across the domaine: whole-bunch fermentation with indigenous yeasts and foot-treading to complete fermentation naturally. The result is a wine in which age of vine does the talking, delivering the depth, concentration and distinctly individual character that only very old roots can produce. The 2024 shows compact, vibrant raspberry fruit with a fine, juicy precision and an elegance that invites comparison with the great Pinot Noirs of Chambolle-Musigny on the Côte d'Or. For a wine of this pedigree and vineyard age, the value it represents is remarkable. A standout of the vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2024 Domaine Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette VV Cailloux RRP: $65 | Offer: $59\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhere the Sable cuvée is rooted in the sandier soils of the lieu-dit, this bottling draws from the rockier, more mineral-driven parcels of the same vineyard — cailloux meaning \"stones\" or \"pebbles\" in French. The vines are only marginally younger than those behind the Sable, placing them firmly in centurion territory. The distinction between the two was formalised on the label from the 2019 vintage onwards, and the two wines reward direct comparison.\u003cbr\u003eThe rockier subsoil lends this cuvée a slightly firmer structural profile than its sandy counterpart. The 2024 is long, concentrated and built for the cellar — this is a wine with genuine ageing potential. It is also, notably, Bouland's personal favourite from the 2024 vintage, which he describes as resembling a master blend of everything in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2024 Domaine Daniel Bouland Morgon Délys Vignes de 1926 RRP: $65 | Offer: $59\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine comes from a single hectare on the Morgon-Chiroubles border at the foot of the Corcelette valley, in a historically recognised terroir known as Délys. The southeast-facing slope is planted at a density of 10,000 vines per hectare, and the vines themselves have now reached 100 years of age, gnarled, low-yielding, and deeply rooted.\u003cbr\u003eBouland considers this his most age-worthy wine, and the 2024 vintage affirms that reputation convincingly. The palate is dense yet silken, underpinned by a graphite-like minerality and exceptional length. While it is already a pleasure to drink, the tannins remain the most tightly structured of the Bouland range, steely and coiled, signalling a wine with decades of development ahead of it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2023 Jean Foillard Morgon Cote du Py RRP: $141 | Offer: $129\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'The 2023 Morgon Côte du Py comes from several parcels of granite and schistous soils with many centurion vines.

These lighter soils are known to produce wines of greater aromatic intensity and softer, rounder tannin structure. The vines used here average 60 years in age and are classified as Bouland's younger Corcelette holdings; his oldest bush vines from the same area are reserved for a separate Vieilles Vignes bottling. Vinification follows the estate's consistent approach: whole-bunch fermentation with indigenous yeasts, with foot-treading employed at the close of fermentation to extend maceration naturally. The 2024 presents as the most approachable of the Corcelette series, showing silky blueberry, red floral notes and sarsaparilla on a seamlessly structured palate. Tannins are marginally firmer than those found in the higher-altitude Chiroubles, yet integration is precise and the overall impression one of effortless balance.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bibendum Wine Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44176970514612,"sku":"22BOULANDMGNCRCLT750","price":59.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/1261\/1508\/files\/DanielBouland2022s-March24_1.png?v=1711600206"},{"product_id":"2024-daniel-bouland-morgon-corcelette-sable-750ml","title":"2024 Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette Sable 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Vieilles Vignes Sable is drawn from granitic sand soils, sable being the French term for sand, within the same premier lieu-dit. The vines were planted in 1926, making this a genuinely historic holding and the oldest in the Corcelette lineup. It is the direct counterpart to the Cailloux bottling, with the two wines offering a compelling study in how subtle soil variation within a single vineyard can shape entirely different expressions of Morgon.\u003cbr\u003eDespite the exceptional vine age, Bouland's approach in the cellar remains consistent across the domaine: whole-bunch fermentation with indigenous yeasts and foot-treading to complete fermentation naturally. The result is a wine in which age of vine does the talking, delivering the depth, concentration and distinctly individual character that only very old roots can produce. The 2024 shows compact, vibrant raspberry fruit with a fine, juicy precision and an elegance that invites comparison with the great Pinot Noirs of Chambolle-Musigny on the Côte d'Or. For a wine of this pedigree and vineyard age, the value it represents is remarkable.

The distinction between the two was formalised on the label from the 2019 vintage onwards, and the two wines reward direct comparison.\u003cbr\u003eThe rockier subsoil lends this cuvée a slightly firmer structural profile than its sandy counterpart.
