BURGUNDY QUALITY, BEAUJOLAIS PRICE TAG.
WHY WE LOVE IT:
One of three site-specific wines from Corcelette (a renowned cru vineyard), 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.
Unsurprisingly, Bouland’s gnarled old trunks have over-delivered again. Raised in an old foudre, it’s a layered, mouthcoating Morgon, oozing blood plum and blackcurrant fruit framed by melting tannins, juicy acids and a long, perfumed finish. If it were from the Côte d'Or, you would be well into three figures.
