Daniel Bouland - Morgon Pre Jourdan 2023 3L
"This is our second allocation from Bouland’s recently acquired parcel in the lieu-dit Pré Jourdan, which sits on the Morgon-Fleurie border in the northeast corner of Morgon. Sitting on the south side of a small valley, its exposition looks northeast, facing the vineyard of Douby. Bouland farms a tiny parcel of 70-year-old vines, just enough to fill a single large cask (a youngish Rousseau foudre in this case). The soils here are predominantly granitic sand—although they run deeper than in Bellevue and Corcelette—providing Bouland with a fleshier and highly aromatic Morgon to add to the range. In Beaujolais terms, it is profoundly deep, rolling out in palate-staining layers of spice-infused blueberry and blackberry fruit suffused with more smoked meat and dark, slaty mineral notes. Yet, for all its power and mouthfilling texture, it has real nuance, mineral lift and verve. " -Bibendum (Importer)
"Bright and expressive, the 2023 Morgon Pré Jourdan offers layered notes of powdery flowers, cherries, blueberries and vanilla spice,though with a touch of volatile acidity that disperses within a few minutes in the glass. Full-bodied, the wine is broad on the attack,though gently tapers from the influence of its latticed tannins. With bright acidity balancing the weight of the fruit, the wine offersgreater approachability compared to others in the lineup. 90 points." - Kenna Wells (The Wine Advocate)
