Why Cave selected it

Precise lieu-dit expression within Morgon, concrete élevage that keeps the fruit pure, and a mineral, structured style from Bouland that over-delivers for the price and cellars well.

About the wine

Bellevue is one of the highest lieu-dit in the climat Corcelette. The 'Cailloux' bottling comes from vieilles vignes only, around 80yo. Fermentation and ageing in cement cuve. We love all Daniel's bottlings and this is no excpetion.

About Daniel Bouland

Based in the hamlet of Corcelette Daniel is a hardworking, humble, discreet and sometimes anxious vigneron. He prefers a solitary life and happily spends 12 hours a day working on his diverse and exceptional terroirs, taking care of old (60-100yo) bush vines traditionally planted at high density. All of this by hand on steep slopes where no tractor could go. All his grapes are hand-harvested and vinified with full clusters and natural yeasts in concrete vat with two pump overs per day. The wines are then aged in old foudres in a tiny cellar, Daniel follows them through élevage with great care and bottles them without filtration.
