Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette "Cailloux" Vieilles Vignes

Corcelette, Morgon, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France

Varietal(s): 100% Gamay

Corcelette Cailloux is in a class of its own, with a bewitching nose that makes this a wine of remarkable class. Ripe, deep fruit tones, fine soil inflection and a firm chassis of tannin to carry the wine in perfect balance and harmony. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a deep mix of sweet dark berries, black plums, pomegranate, pigeon, black tea, a dollop of fresh herb tones, dark soil elements and a top note of peonies. On the palate the wine is bright, deep, and structured, with a rock solid core of black fruit, fine soil undertow and grip, firm tannins and a long complex finish.

98 points La Revue du Vin de France

Cailloux is French for "peestones" or "stones," indicating that this specific cuvée comes from a stony, gravelly section of the Corcelette vineyard (as opposed to the sandier Sables parcel).
