🏰 The 2016 Daniel Bouland Morgon Bellevue Cailloux is an exceptional Beaujolais that 【delivers a deeper, fuller, and more "serious" expression of Gamay, comparable to fine Côte de Nuits Burgundies】. From old vines (60-70 years) on schist and granite soils, this vintage, despite a small harvest due to hail, showcases a deep nose of deliciously muscled fruit interest. It offers big gobs of fresh purple fruit like plums, blueberries, and black cherries, with a faint undercurrent of thyme, violets, and potting soil. The palate is notably structured and dense for a Gamay, with fantastic acidity and a long, mineral finish. 🍴 This versatile red pairs wonderfully with roasted chicken or turkey, gamey meats, braised dishes, or pasta with red sauce. 🥂 Ideal for those seeking a more structured and age-worthy Beaujolais. Enjoy it now for its vibrant fruit, or cellar it for a few years to allow its subtle earthy tones to integrate further.
