Daniel Bouland Cote de Brouilly Cuvee Melanie 2023

Named after winemaker Daniel Bouland's daughter, this wine springs from seventy-year-old vines rooted in the volcanic blue schist slopes of Mont Brouilly's Tête Noire lieu-dit. Full-cluster, hand-harvested Gamay achieves remarkable minerality and structure from the ancient volcanic terroir, unfiltered to preserve its pure character. Bouland's old-school approach yields wines with the elegance and aging potential of fine Burgundy—layered red fruit, savory earth, and crisp minerality that evolves beautifully.
