2024 Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette Sable 750ml

This 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.
Despite 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.
