Daniel Bouland Morgon VV 1926 Delys 2023
Daniel Bouland Morgon VV 1926 Delys 2023
The discreet Daniel Bouland took over the family estate in the 1980s and now cultivates around nine hectares of vineyards in Morgon, Chiroubles and the Côte de Brouilly. Most of these vineyards are planted with old vines, some dating back to 1926, as in the Les Delys cuvée. The three hectares of vineyards are farmed conventionally but with attentive work by hand-tying the goblets to protect them from sun and hail. Bouland employs whole-cluster fermentations lasting the better part of two weeks, followed by maturation for up to nine months in foudres or tanks, with only small dosages of SO2 added after malolactic fermentation. The wines are deliberately crafted with an intellectual focus, prioritizing the structural intricacies of the terroirs over sheer exuberance. That said, the 2023s marked a notable progression in fluidity compared to 2022, with brighter, more refined fruit and tannic structures operating as forces in concert.

The 2023 Morgon Les Délys Vignes plantées en 1926, aged in foudre, offers a full-bodied profile with a seamless integration of tannic structure and concentrated fruit. On the palate, notes of chocolate spice, licorice, blueberry and ginger unfold smoothly, voluminously coating the mouth with a rich, almost waxy texture. The smooth-coated tannins aptly stabilize the wine in perfect proportion to the wine's body. Herbaceous, mentholated accents emerge, adding freshness and complexity to the wine’s lingering finish.
