About this wine

This cuvée comes from two parcels of roughly 80-year-old bush vines in the high, later-ripening Corcelette sector, on pure, more or less decomposed granite. The 2024 shows a deep, brooding nose of black cherry, dark berries, licorice and sweet spices, with a distinct granitic, stony edge. On the palate it is powerful yet controlled: concentrated fruit, serious but ripe tannins and a sapid, saline finish that seems to go on and on. It’s a Morgon built for ageing, closer in feel to serious Côte de Nuits than to simple Beaujolais. Pair with richer dishes like duck, game birds, slow-cooked beef or mushroom ragù.

Tasting Note

Producer notes describe the 2024 Cailloux as having a deep nose of liquorice, spice and dark berries, with fantastic density on the palate, juicy tannins and an exceptionally long finish. Additional trade notes highlight black-fruited flavours, hints of grilled meat, balsamic and wet stone, all wrapped in chalky, mouth-watering tannins.

Daniel Bouland

A reference point for serious Beaujolais. Daniel Bouland crafts deeply fruited, structured Gamay from excellent old-vine parcels in Morgon and Chiroubles. Fermentation is traditional, oak is neutral, and purity is the priority. The wines are vibrant, layered, and capable of aging. Proof that Beaujolais can be both joyful and profound.

Vinification

Very old Gamay vines on decomposed granite are hand-harvested, fermented as whole clusters with native yeasts in concrete, then aged about eight months in large old oak tuns (foudres).
