2024 Daniel Bouland Morgon Delys 'Vignes de 1926' 750ml

The 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.
Bouland 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.
