Cuvee Melanie is Daniel Bouland's pride bottling, named for his daughter and drawn from old, low-yielding vines on Mont Brouilly in the Cote de Brouilly. Bouland is one of Beaujolais's most exacting growers, making mineral Gamay that rivals the Pinot Noirs of the Cote de Nuits, and Melanie is his most concentrated, structured wine. This 2014 now has a decade of maturity, putting it in a lovely drinking window where its power has begun to soften into complexity. A serious cru Beaujolais for anyone who still doubts what Gamay can do. From a private collection.

"Youthful violet. Intense, highly perfumed boysenberry, cherry liqueur and floral pastille aromas show excellent clarity, and a smoky mineral overtone builds in the glass. Sappy and sharply focused, offering concentrated red and blue fruit flavors that show impressive vivacity given their heft. Juicy, pure and precise, finishing with outstanding focus and persistence and silky, even tannins that add gentle grip." —Josh Raynolds

More about Daniel Bouland

Cru Beaujolais is no longer a secret among wine lovers. For about a decade now names like Lapierre, Foillard and Metras have been among the most sought after by collectors and everyday wine drinkers alike. We have long believed that the wines of Daniel Bouland were deserving of the same attention and devotion, and in the last couple of years that has become a reality.

Bouland's wines come from very old vines and seem to operate on three well-delineated layers: An airy top register of flowers and flint-smoke, the middle layer flush with refined (and sometimes powerful) red fruits, and precise, vividly mineral structures at the low register. It's this near- visualizable depth and detail that sets them apart. Bouland would probably make a great photographer.

The wines can age. Ten years is not asking too much. But most also drink wonderfully on release - especially the Chiroubles, Melanie, and Corcelette. They have brains and brawn. And, most importantly, beauty.

Tasting Profile

Mature and concentrated Gamay. Deep dark fruit turning savory, firm but resolving tannins, strong volcanic (blue-stone) minerality, and a long earthy finish.
