2020 Daniel Bouland Bellevue Cailloux Morgon - Gamay from Beaujolais. This is a medium to full bodied wine. Bouland wines are described as defiantly deep, dark, country-style reds with plenty of grip and overflowing with personality. These are wines that are built for the long hall, unlike so many of the region’s wines. I describe this wine as brilliant and delicious. This wine is drinking nicely even without bottle age.
Once again, Beaujolais because they can be deliciously beautiful. Casualness in a bottle with a touch of class. Also can’t beat the QPR on some of these, especially this one. — 3 years ago

From the Vielles Vignes Corcelette series that Bouland divides by soil type. I opened it too young but patience is not a strength of mine. Nose has dark cherry fruit, so ripe and pure, and loads of crushed stone. Tightly wound on the palate for a Bojo, but nevertheless showing ridiculous depth of flavor. It’s still a bit tannic and there’s a slight astringent note in the finish, but a few more years in the cellar would have tamed those things. In fact, as it’s opening up, the depth of fruit is smothering it. Just excellent — 3 months ago



Columbia County 2.0: interesting drinking this day after a German Pinot, as I found them surprisingly related. A fave Beaujo producer’s Morgon, also a cooler tone & elegant. Blackberries & cassis, darker berries and a fine grittiness to integrated tannins. I like this drinking window (6 yrs) but imagine several if not more left. — 3 years ago
