Bouland, Daniel 2021 Morgon Bellevue Sable

The Bouland Morgon "Bellevue Sable" is from average 40 to 50 year-old vines in the lieu dit "Bellevue" in the larger vineyard of Corcelette, located in the northwestern sector of Villié-Morgon. "The 2021version is lovely, wafting from the glass in a mix of black cherries, pomegranate, sweet cranberries, dark soil tones, pigeon, sweet stem tones and plenty of upper register smokiness. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, moderately tannic and nicely soil-driven in personality, with a lovely core of fruit, bouncy acids, fine focus and grip and a long, well balanced and complex finish. This is excellent Morgon in the making, but give it a few years in the cellar." The View from the Cellar The '21s are just starting to open up, especially the Bellevue Sable as the sandier soils there lend themselves to more elegance and less intense tannins...
