Daniel Bouland Cuvee Melanie Cote de Brouilly 2021

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Gamay. This comes from 70yo vines in a schist and granite derived soil with blue diorite on the southern slope of Mont Brouilly.

Taste Profile: The Cte de Brouilly Cuve Melanie is one of the more vibrant and lifted wines in Bouland’s release, showing ripe red and black forest fruits along with green herbal tinges and rustic, earthy minerals. Savoury, structured tannins frame the palate beautifully, along with a thrilling line of acid that draws out the finish.

Winemaking Process:All Boulands wines undergo natural yeast, 100% whole bunch fermentation, before ageing in large, neutral oak, and are bottled without fining and only a light filtration. The process that most impacts the style of wine made is the 100% whole bunch fermentation. Also known as carbonic maceration.
