Daniel Bouland Morgon Les Delys 2023

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. Sweetly ripe yet vivacious, it is one of the more refined of Bouland’s 2023s, while the structure is a smidge firmer than the Corcelette (there’s so much juicy flavour and succulence that you hardly notice).
