2022 Daniel Bouland Pre Jourdan Morgon

Gilman 94 Points: "Daniel Bouland’s 2022 Pré Jourdan is a beautiful bottle of young Morgon. The deeper soils here show in the great depth of sappy fruit the wine exudes on both the nose and palate, with the wine coming at 13.5 percent octane in this vintage and offering up a simply beautiful aromatic constellation of black cherries, red plums, sweet cranberries, a touch of chocolate, pigeon, dark soil tones, woodsmoke, gently savory elements and a topnote of rose petals. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and shows off stunning depth at the core, with a beautiful base of complex soil tones, ripe, buried tannins, fine focus and length and a perfectly balanced, nascently complex finish. This wine is so well balanced out of the blocks that it is already approachable, despite a fine chassis of tannin, but it is still a fairly primary wine and it would be borderline criminal to not give it at least five or six years in the cellar and allow its additional layers of complexity to completely emerge."
