2022 Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette Vieilles Vignes Sable Magnum (1500ml)

One of three site-specific wines from Corcelette, this cuvée is drawn from old vines on granitic sand soils (sable means sand). The vines were planted in 1926, so it’s truly a Vieilles Vignes cuvée. It is the sister wine, if you like, to the Cailloux (rocky) cuvée. Unsurprisingly, Bouland’s gnarled old trunks have over-delivered again. Raised in an old foudre, it’s a layered, inky, mouthcoating Morgon of wonderful finesse, finishing with intense mineral character and a nip of old vine grip. If it were from the Côte-d'Or, you’d swear you were in Chambolle (and you would be well into three figures).
