Perhaps he's not yet a "name brand" producer for Beaujolais, but we like it that way, because it means we can still get our hands on these amazing bottles! Daniel Bouland is a wonderful vigneron who makes splendidly traditional wines from several different terroirs throughout Morgon. 

Winemaker: Daniel Bouland
Farming: Sustainable
Variety: Gamay
Terroir: Daniel’s classic Morgon, vines 60-80 year old vines from Sable and granite soils.
Vinification/Aging: Daniel’s classic Morgon, traditional fermentation in tank. 
Tasting Notes: Spices, dark fruit, this wine is deep and brooding. It opens in the glass with aromas of wild berries, cherries, exotic spices, cracked black pepper and vine smoke.
Critics Score: "The 2022 vintage of Daniel Bouland’s Morgon 'Delys 1926' is a brilliant young Cru Beaujolais. The wine comes in at an even fourteen percent in this vintage and offers up truly stunning depth of fruit on both the nose and palate, as these ancient vines have dug deep into the subterranean water sources to keep maturity progressing flawlessly in this dry growing season. The wine wafts from the glass in a complex and sappy blend of sweet dark berries, black cherries, pomegranate, grilled pigeon, dark soil tones, espresso woodsmoke and a topnote of violets. On the palate the wine is pure, sappy and full-bodied, with a bottomless core of old vine fruit, fine-grained, buried tannins, great focus and grip and a long, seamlessly balanced and very complex finish. This is one of the greatest young bottles of Morgon I have ever had the pleasure to taste and it would be insane not to allow it at least some time in the cellar to unlock its secondary and tertiary layers of complexity. 2029-2085." - 96 points, John Gilman, April 2024
