Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours and alongside Foillard’s “Corcelette” from 2022. The 2014 “Corcelette” from Daniel Boulard pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate stain of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of wild strawberry, pine forest, Juniper berries, forest floor, hot asphalt, sage, leather, and rounded off by the smell of an old, cracked bar of Irish Spring soap from a basement shower. On the palate the wine is bone dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes on the nose. The finishes long and gorgeous. Rustic but beautiful and a brutally honest wine. Wow. Drink now through 2034.

This drinks like a southern Rhône at this point - a good one though. Must be the vintage. I had an ‘08 Bouland Morgon last year that was much less dense.

And another fave, finally opening after 18 hours to breathe. Needs another good 5 yrs. #09s

F*ck yeah. Wow. Teeth staining, inky, beefy berry minerality and slightly prickly mouthfeel with an almost Syrah like texture. There's great structure that could benefit from laying down for a long sleep.

Dark and well composed fruit, mineral, and finesse. Over delivers with almost more Pinot than Gamay fruit character.
