From less than seven Morgon hectares in Corcelette's hamlet, Daniel Bouland creates old-fashioned Gamay of astonishing depth, revered among Beaujolais's most consistent modern luminaries. Solitary and meticulous, Bouland hand-harvests exclusively, fermenting whole-bunch fruit in neutral oak foudres with minimal intervention. His wines age gracefully for twenty years, rivalling fine Côte de Nuits Burgundies. Filtered sparingly and bottled without manipulation, these extraordinary Gamays embody staunch tradition and singular artistry, proving Beaujolais's capacity for genuine complexity and refinement when stewarded by a devoted, humble master craftsman.
