The 2023 Domaine Daniel Bouland Cuvée Mélanie from Côte‑de‑Brouilly is an expressive Gamay drawn from seventy‑year‑old vines rooted in schist, granite and blue diorite soils.

Daniel’s parcel lies within the lieu dit Tête Noire, high on the Cote de Brouilly, which like Côte de Py in Morgon, is volcanic blue schist. This terroir gives the wine its distinctive minerality to go with the elegance and structure of Brouilly.
