  September 19, 2023 - Delicious bottle of serious beaujolais. Crunchy dark fruits in perfect balance. Better now than my last bottle from a couple years ago. I wish Bouland was easier to find in Chicago!

  August 22, 2022 - Dense, dark, brooding. Cherries and plums. A little tannic right now. A darker shade of beaujo.

  December 4, 2021 - I haven’t encountered a single Bouland cru Beaujolais that has disappointed, and this is no exception. Both savory and sweet, with considerable depth, red and blue fruit, and good grip. I have a hard time keeping away from the 2017s (only a handful left) even though they are really coming into their own right now.

  November 6, 2021 - Robe profonde, brillante, encore très jeune d’apparence.
  Nez timide à l’ouverture, orienté fruits noirs : cerise, mure, prune, une touche de graphite et de végétal. Je passe le vin en carafe pour l’ouvrir, le résultat sera peu probant.
  
  Un vin tout en retenue, on sent une matière, une énergie, mais bloquées. Le passage en carafe aura pour seul effet d’accentuer les tanins et l’amertume en finale, pas franchement une réussite, c’est même tout le contraire... Un vin probablement avec du potentiel, mais dans une phase taiseuse. Pas désagréable à table, mais loin d’être remarquable.
  
  Un beaujolais classique, certainement en dehors de ma zone de confort, mais comme j’aime le rappeler aux jeunes embauchés plein d’ambitions, je n’aime pas payer pour un potentiel. A attendre donc, dans l’espoir de jours meilleurs.

  July 9, 2021 - I usually don't write multiple notes for a wine, but a ~year of aging has done incredible things for this bottling. What was a dense, dark monolith lacking acidity before is now a bright-fruited, acid-driven, beautifully developed bottle of Morgon. Plenty of structure and dark fruit still, but it is buffered by a deep mineral core and lots of floral aromatics. really nice wine.
