Daniel Bouland Beaujolais Morgon "Délys" 2022 Magnum

The lieu-dit Les Délys is part of the Corcelette climat located downslope from Bellevue and right behind Bouland's residence and winery-it's his back garden if you like. Again, Bouland splits his vines into two cuvées: an old-vine cuvée raised in foudre and this younger-vine version raised in concrete. The vines were planted in 1978 and 1980 in the deep granitic sand typical of Les Délys, which brings roundness and Burgundy-like texture to the wines. It's the most detailed and refined wine so far, and while the structure is a smidge firmer than the Corcelette, there's so much juicy flavour and succulence that you hardly notice. It closes with a pop of freshness-an invigorating counterpoint in this wine's long, gripping finish.
