Daniel Bouland’s 2018 Morgon Bellevue Schiste is an elegant expression of Gamay that balances vibrant energy and mineral clarity: scented with blue and red berry florals and deep cherry, it is richly textured yet precise, finishing with a long saline and spice-tinged flourish.

From the Archive
This cuvée of Morgon, Daniel produces from a single parcel in lieu-dit Bellevue where the soil is schist, and like Côte de Py, has a distinctive mineral quality and above all “class” that comes out more and more with age.
