Tasting Notes

The lieu-dit Les Délys is part of the Corcelette climat located downslope from Bellevue and right behind Bouland’s residence and winery—it’s his back garden, if you like. Again, Bouland splits his vines into two cuvées: an old-vine cuvée raised in foudre and this younger-vine version raised in concrete. The vines were planted in 1978 and 1980 in the deep granitic sand typical of Les Délys, which brings roundness and Burgundy-like texture to the wines. Sweetly ripe yet vivacious, it is one of the more refined of Bouland’s 2023s, while the structure is a smidge firmer than the Corcelette (there’s so much juicy flavour and succulence that you hardly notice). It closes with a pop of dark minerals and crack of red pepper—a nice counterpoint to this wine’s long, grippy finish. Not that we should complain, but the pricing is wildly out of sync with the quality.

Product Highlights

One of Beaujolais’ more reclusive growers, Daniel Bouland makes some of the most old-school and expressive wines in the whole of the region.

Hand harvested from old Gamay vines in the Morgon lieux-dits of Corcelette, Bellevue and Pré Jourdan, Bouland’s wines are defiantly deep, dark, country-style reds with plenty of grip and overflowing with personality. These are wines that are built for the long haul, unlike so many of the wines produced in this region.
